96. The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Richard Papen arrives at Hampden College in Vermont ready to reinvent himself. He is quickly drawn into a group of five eccentric students who are studying Greek with the influential Julian Morrow. Julian urges his students to become completely immersed in their Classics studies, and when the students take up his offer and take part in a wild bacchanalian frenzy and end up killing a local farmer, the group dynamics change. One of the group members can’t stop talking about the death, and the group must decide how far they will go to keep their secret safe.
As I wrote in my blog introduction, this book is one of my favorite books and one that I read every year. I love the small campus and Vermont setting, and the autumn atmosphere that the novel starts out in. Part gothic, part psychological thriller, it is a disturbing look at group dynamics and how far ordinary people will go to keep a secret. posted by Tompkins County Public Library @ 12:00 PM 0 Comments

The Secret History by Donna Tartt
THE SNOW in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation.
- The Secret History, prologue Go back and read that quote again. I'll wait. Done? You have to agree, that's a great opening line. It not only tells you that there's been a death, the name of the dead person and how long ago that death look place, but also that several people are more concerned about themselves (the gravity of our situation) than they are the deceased. The first half of the book leads up to Bunny's death; the second half deals with the consequences. Here's the poop:
The story is told by Richard Papen, a twenty-year-old Californian who ends up in "Hampton" (It's Bennington, folks.) College in Vermont. His abilities with Ancient Greek land him in the company of the school's most reclusive students and there elitist Professor. A ritual that invokes RATYHTL's patron God, Dionysus, goes horribly sour and things spiral out to control. From that summery, you'd never believe that this is a very funny book, but it is. It's also only the second book that I've reviewed on this site to earn an A+. Very good, Ms. Tartt. You may sit up front, next to Mr. McCarthy. But there's something I need to warn you about - your fans.

The Little Friend
A novel by
Donna Tartt
Awards Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction (nominee) The Little Friend is Donna Tartt's hugely anticipated follow-up to The Secret History, which was a bestseller around the world and one of the most astonishing debuts in recent times. The Little Friend is even more transfixing and resonant. In a small Mississippi town, Harriet Cleve Dusfresnes grows up in the shadow of her brother, whowhen she was only a babywas found hanging dead from a black tupelo tree in their yard. His killer was never identified, nor has his family, in the years since, recovered from the tragedy. For Harriet, who has grown up largely unsupervised in a world of her own imagination, her brother is a link to a glorious past she has only heard stories about or glimpsed in photograph albums. Fiercely determined, precocious far beyond her 12 years and steeped in the adventurous literature of Stevenson, Kipling and Conan Doyle, she resolves, one summer, to solve the murder and exact her revenge. Harriet's sole ally in this quest, her friend Hely, is devoted to her, but what they soon encounter has nothing to do with child's play: it is dark, adult and all too menacing.

The Secret History
Donna Tartt
Penguin 1993 A book review by Danny Yee studying ancient Greek warps the minds of the young? When I first came across The Secret History The Secret History Despite the first person narration, the narrator's personality does not intrude into the novel. He is a passive, almost "recording" character, who discovers rather than initiates, and who plays the role the chorus would have played in a real tragedy; he comments on the action and his hindsight replaces prophecy as the voice of fate. I could go on at length about other literary devices and parallels, and indeed many of them are explicitly raised; The Secret History is sprinkled with literary references. (The obvious comparison to Crime and Punishment is made by both the blurb on my copy and one of the characters.) This is never done artificially, however, and genuine authorial/narratorial insight is combined with appropriateness to the context and characterisation. Hopefully this will not have turned off potential readers without an interest in the classics.

This mysterious killing changes everything for his family. It is also the mysterious killing at the heart of the most jealously guarded second novel in publishing history: Donna Tartt's The Little Friend. Fans plot to be first readers of reclusive writer's long-awaited new blockbuster.
On Mother's Day in 1964 a boy of nine is found hanging from a tree. This mysterious killing changes everything for his family. It is also the mysterious killing at the heart of the most jealously guarded second novel in publishing history: Donna Tartt's The Little Friend.
Tartt's first book, published 10 years ago when she was 28, was a literary sensation. The Secret History told the suspenseful story of a privileged band of classics scholars who attended an elite American college. A potent mix of murder, adolescent sexual tension and ancient Greek ritual, it sold more than a million copies in the United States alone, and has been translated into 23 languages.
Now the long wait for Tartt's next book is almost over. Simultaneous publication of The Little Friend in the United States and in Britain is set for the end of October. For the enigmatic author's devoted fans, however, a few more weeks of patience is proving hard to muster. Some are prepared to go to extraordinary lengths to be first to buy a copy.

No one can possibly say otherwise. To Hfl: I won´t say otherwise. Donna Tartt is a genious! I've just finished reading The Little Friend and was very disappointed by the ending. What the heck happened? Did she get epilepsy from the drug Did her family end up okay I'm so upset - this book definitely did not live up to The Secret History which is my all time favorite book. I agree, Though beautifully written and hugely moving in places the ending a real dissapointment. Clearly the journey was more important than the destinantion. I disagree with disappointed. I thought the little friend was far better written, better plotted and infinitely more interesting than the secret history: and vastly more subtle. it didn't leave me with any major questions, just a feeling of sadness that it was over and much to reflect on... I cannot recommend the book highly enough... Don't be put off by the critics is my advice

    Donna Tartt, The Secret History, and Trusts
    I've loved Donna Tartt's writing ever since I read this passage early in her 2002 novel The Little Friend . It introduces us to two sisters named Allison and Harriet Cleve (Harriet is the novel's main character): Allison spent a lot of time with her great-aunts, on the weekends and after school.... What a good little cook, the aunts all sang. How pretty you are. You're an angel to come see us. What a good girl. How pretty. How sweet. Harriet, the baby, was neither pretty nor sweet. Harriet was smart. From the time she was old enough to talk, Harriet had been a slightly distressing presence in the Cleve household. Fierce on the playground, rude to company, she argued with Edie [her grandmother] and checked out library books about Genghis Khan and gave her mother headaches. She was twelve years old and in the seventh grade.... This past week, laid up with sinus problems, I finally made my way through Ms. Tartt's first novel

Assignation to this category seemed to be the fate of Donna Tartt, whose intellectual thriller The Secret History The Little Friend deserves a better editor. The Mississippi-born Tartt has set her story in a small town in her home state, populated by impoverished blacks, whites in trailer parks, snake-handling preachers, and a dying circle of aristocrats.  The protagonist of the novel, Harriet Cleve Dufresnes, is a member of the latter group.  Her brother, Robin, was brutally murdered when Harriet was still a baby.  The summer of her twelfth year, Harriet decides to solve and avenge Robin's murder.  A few chance remarks by her family's housekeeper lead her to pin the murder on Danny Ratliff, who is somewhat unwillingly following in the criminal footsteps of his father and brothers.  Harriet plays the sleuth through the bulk of the novel, as the Cleves and Ratliffs get to know each other a little too well. All of it is quite predictable.

57. Review | The Little Friend By Donna Tartt
And then, to follow it up, donna tartt wrote nothing. No one heard from her for years. And then more years after that. Sure, there were a few dribs,
http://januarymagazine.com/fiction/littlefriend.html
The Little Friend by Donna Tartt Published by Knopf 480 pages, 2002 Buy it online Too Little, Quite Late Reviewed by Tony Buchsbaum First novels are tough. It's tough to write one (I've done it, so I know), and it's tough to get one published (I've done that, too, so I know that, as well). For the rest of us, it's quite often hard to read them, as they're not always of the best quality. Their stories are sometimes hackneyed. Sometimes coming-of-age-like. Sometimes they're just downright bad.
And then, other times, they're sublime. A few years ago, there was a novel called A Simple Plan by Scott Smith. It was, as they say, un-put-down-able. In that respect, it was very much like another first novel, The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
When I first got my hands on The Secret History , I devoured it. I mean, it was all I did for days and days. I didn't eat. Didn't sleep. Didn't call anyone or answer the phone. I think I bathed, but I'm not sure; after all, it was ten years ago. It was an amazing piece of work. Scholarly in a way that made you want to know as much as Tartt obviously did. Thrilling in a way that made you want to go back to school and be a little more decadent than you were and a little smarter. Well-written in a way that made you think about whether you really could be a novelist. It was the kind of novel you talked about, argued about and wanted to hold on to, like a close friend. It was the kind of novel that became part of you.

  • "The Little Friend" by Donna Tartt Ten years after her hugely successful "The Secret History," a precocious author returns to prove she's still got that ol' black magic. By Laura Miller Donna Tartt's first novel, "The Secret History," was a precocious book about precocious people written by a precocious author guaranteed, that is, to irk the throngs of envious lesser talents who stand ready to take pot shots at any writer (other than themselves, of course) who presumes to win critical and commercial success at too early an age. And her characters were aggravating, it's true; pretentious classics majors at a bohemian private college in Vermont, they wore pince-nez, for crying out loud, and played euchre. But try, once you've started it, to stop reading that novel. Most people couldn't. It's got its share of rough spots, affectations and improbabilities, but it's not dull, the chief sin of 95 percent of the fiction published today.
