They think she's a child prodigy; and, in fact, many people remark on how child-like Tartt is; one friend told me that she's obsessed with childhood, and her mentor Willie Morris said of when he met her: "On the one hand she was immensely grown-up; on the other hand she was a child. "But one of the very big differences is that my mother and I are extremely close." She once said, in a typically Tarttish way, witty and self-creating: "My dog has a number of acquaintances of his own species - as do I - but it is abundantly clear to both of us that there is little company in all the world which we enjoy so much as each other's." "I think politics is deadly to write about, frankly. Da lì, il suo futuro diventa una rocambolesca girandola di salotti chic, amori e criminalità, in balìa di una pulsione autodistruttiva impossibile da controllare. "There's a horrible ethos in rural southern poverty that it's dumb to do well, it's stupid to succeed, and that people will laugh at you," she says. They'd be like, be careful, God bless you. The towers were just how you recognised the city, they were the city, you could see them from miles afar. It presents the story of a bizarre childhood. Tartt continues: "Unfortunately, there's a big anti-intellectual strain in the American south, and there always has been. Sometimes I pick up a book and I'm like - please God, please let this be what it looks like it is." Then you can start reading Kindle books on your smartphone, tablet, or computer - no Kindle device required.Donna Tartt won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for her most recent Novel. She is the author of the novels The Secret History and The Little Friend, which have been translated into thirty languages.Mass Market Paperback "Tartt also, famously, detests any mention of her home life. I'm not sure if this was said with warmth or irony.She takes writing very seriously, it's studiedly anti-trivial - "It's like what Melville said: that it's a writer's job to dive deep. We're not big on thought. E il loro mondo inizia a crollare inesorabilmente, pezzo dopo pezzo. I mean, jeez, what are they talking about? "And Stevenson. So the fact that Ida, Harriet's maid (black, as was Tartt's own), is the person Harriet loves most but who is treated appallingly by her white employers, is "not so much to do with race as the horror of the child who's really attached to the nanny, and then the nanny's taken away".She had been a voracious reader, however, for a long time: The Wind In The Willows, Winnie The Pooh, Peter Pan, when she was younger. She had a tutor who, like Julian Morrow in The Secret History, was eccentric and elitist. They think I'm still at college - so the fact that I've written another book seems so much more marvellous to them." 47 'Why,' he shouted, staggering back as if dazed by my prodigy, rolling his rich old eye around the assembled company, 'this girl is a writer! Theo Decker, um nova-iorquino de treze anos, sobrevive milagrosamente a um acidente que mata sua mãe. While Tartt was emerging as a distinctive literary voice, she pleased her mother by joining a sorority. Desnorteado em seu novo e estranho apartamento na Park Avenue, perseguido por colegas de escola com quem não consegue se comunicar e, acima de tudo, atormentado pela ausência da mãe, Theo se apega a uma importante lembrança dela: uma pequena, misteriosa e cativante pintura que acabará por arrastá-lo ao submundo da arte. Apaixonado e em transe, ele será lançado ao centro de uma perigosa conspiração. Cinque ragazzi ricchi e viziati e il loro eccentrico e affascinante professore di greco antico, che insegna al di fuori delle regole accademiche imposte dall'università e solamente a una cerchia ristretta di studenti. So you get this kind of intense rock and roll energy going on, with this kind of very frozen, formal, ritualised kind of life. She describes the "long drugged afternoons" which made up her "languorous undersea existence", when she would stare for hours and hours at a View-Master reel of Peter Pan flying over London, fantasising that she was with him. (As Tartt herself says, apropos of something else, "Everything went into The Little Friend for a decade. The Little Friend, by Donna Tartt, is published by … Mayed. But her silence creates mystery and inquiry; it brings to mind the gossips in The Great Gatsby, sitting around, making suppositions: "Somebody told me they thought he killed a man once," says one. At one point it goes off on a hilarious tangent about how literary lions responded to Tom Wolfe's hugely hyped second novel, 1998's "A Man in Full,""Its tone, language, and story belong in children's literature," wrote The New Yorker's critic, James WoodAnd these criticisms of the novel -- "fantastical," "cliché-ridden," "coincidence-laced" -- didn't rise up only after "The Goldfinch" jumped to the top of the bestseller lists. In her memoir, she writes about her "skittish, immature mother" and how her parents were "neither able nor inclined to take much interest in my early upbringing" - it is "a bevy of great-aunts and grandparents" which steps into the breach, sharing their huge southern home (like the aptly-named mansion Tribulation in the novel). "It seemed quite alien, like something I didn't quite write. Codeine is a derivative of opium, and as a result of taking it, the young Donna spent "nearly two years of my childhood submerged in a pretty powerfully altered state of consciousness". "This is the sort of response Tartt gives often; she manages to be personally evasive by giving you an interesting, if convoluted, answer - but not really to your question. )Select the department you want to search inRomance vencedor do prêmio Pulitzer de Literatura.
