Tartt biography

Along with B. Ellis, T. Yanovich, J. Macinnerny and J. Creative biography D. Tartt was born on December 23, Tartt and his wife T. From early childhood, from early childhood, was interested in antiquity, European and American literature, composed stories and poems: at five, she wrote the first poem when she was thirteen of her sonnet in a local journal. In Morris and B. Morris and Hannah, they praised the short prose of the novice writer and recommended Tartt to transfer to Bennington College in Vermont.

In e gg. Bennington College was a symbol of bohemia and decadence of children of the American elite, but also an open area for young authors and students of free arts.

After the start of classes in Tartt, she met with novice writers B. Ellis, J. Poyem and J. Aizenstadt, friendship and joint pastime with which later served as the reason for the name Diamond. During her studies at Bennington College, Tartt studied classical philology under the leadership of the American poet and writer K. Fredericks began working on her debut novel “The Secret History”.

Ellis proposed the manuscript of the novel “The Secret History” to his literary agent Amande Urban. Urban became a literary agent Tartt, and in the city of Knopf for a fever in thousand, rare for the novice author. Since then, the reputation of a hermit from the world of literature, avoiding interviews and public performances, has entrenched in D. Tartt.

Tartt published the second novel “Little Friend”, who brought her the literary prize by William Henry Smith. For the third, D. Tartt was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in the city thanks to the success of the novel "Schegol" for Tartt entrenched the status of "Modern Classic" and the author of "Big Literature". Tartt in the list of one hundred most influential people. The main topics and style are formally all three tartt novels are deconstructed detective stories, moreover, each novel is starting from the murder of one of the heroes.

Some critics include the regular use of murder as a plot -forming event in Tartt’s novels to the weakness of the weakness of her literature Milchin. In the "Secret History" dedicated to B. Ellis, Tartt processes his experience in Studentia at Bennington College. In characters and their teacher, many learned prototypes from the real life of Anolik. Fredericks and his subsequent dismissal from Bennington were accompanied by his portrait, bred in the “Secret History” under the name of J.

Morrow, a teacher of the ancient Greek and spiritual mentor of the heroes of the novel. Tartt uses the technique of an unreliable storyteller who sets out his memories of studying at the fictional college of Hampden and a friendship of a student of students of a group of students, the offspring of the American elite trying to recreate Dionysian sacraments. The background theme of the novel is an attempt to initiate the narrator, a native of a poor California family, whose life before entering Hampden is represented as “dull monotony” and “non -fruit around” Tartt.

Secret story. In the novel, this antithesis is presented, including through the description and detail of the economy and life of the narrator's friends. Tartt pretends to the novel two epigraphs: an excerpt from the sketches of F. Nietzsche to the unwritten work “We, Philologists” and a fragment from the “state” of Plato. At the initial stages, the manuscript was called “God of Illusions”, and Tartt borrowed the Procopia of Caesarea from the Byzantine thinker “The Secret History”.

The title of the novel works at once at several levels: as a confession of an accomplice in the murder, as a marker of his ignorance of the true state of things in the events described by him, as a secret history of beauty, the debunking of illusions. In the latter case, Tartt focuses on the poetics of “death and decomposition”, recreating various transgressive acts in the novel: murder, suicide, incestual connection of twin heroes, orgic practices, power relations of the teacher and student.

Another component of the poetics of the novel is the pronounced love of heroes for the antique heritage: the heroes regularly use reminiscences and allusions on Homer, Plato, Euripides and other authors of Anti -Etsyferov antiquity. Antique code. In the “little friend”, released ten years after the “secret history”, Tartt again reproduces the detective plot, but this time the narrative is built under the Convention of Realistic Literature and is conducted from a third party.

Donna Tartt admitted in one of the rare interviews that she, in contrast to the “secret history”, to create a romance-symphony, focusing on the “war and the world” of Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy Viner. The scene is the fictional town of Alexandria, located in the Mississippi, dear to Tartt in the American South. In relation to the southern cultural landscape, Tartt is the heiress of myth -making W.

Folkner, T. Wolfa, F. The relationship of the Southern Myth and Roman Tartt is the subject of separate research. The literary critic O. Antsyferova, analyzing the southern problems of the novel, uses the term L.Simpson “post-yield”, indicating that Tartt does not continue to develop the “southern myth”, but uses the literary conventions and paths of the predecessors for the metackers of the poetics of the “little friend”: creating a drama around the insoluble secret, detective history, leading to the dead end of Ansyferov.

The pathos of the “deadlock” detective drama Tartt also verifies at the level of epigraphs, referring to the “sum of theology” of St. Thomas Aquinas and borrowing his statement about the value of the “grain of knowledge about the highest things”. The second epigraph, a quote from the speech of the illusionist G. Gudini, opens the ironic level of the novel in which the poetics of degradation and the death of the genus taking place after the murder of one of the offspring alternate with the tonality of the adventure novel about adolescents, the independent investigation of the twelve-year-old Harryite-Dufrence of the murder of his older brother Rolin.

In the novel "Sell", which came out in Dickens, in the case of "chog" a kind of common place in literary criticism. As in the case of the “secret history”, Tartt uses the mask of a male narrator. Theodor Dexker sets out the history of his disasters and adventures to readers, the beginning of which was the death of his beloved mother as a result of a terrorist attack in the New York Museum of Metropolitan Art.

For many years, the hero of the novel turns out to be the keeper of the picture of K. Fabriasus “Scheglenok” another name “dandy” the picture reveals one of the features of the poetics and style of Donna Tartt - the use of Ecfrasis. If in the “Secret History”, Eccratrasical statements served mainly as a means of marking the hero’s conviction of the beauty or horror of other heroes and events of Chernozemov.

So, this antique hoby is counted by his restorer’s ability and serving a decorative art. As in the case of the “secret history”, Theodore is asked about the tragic flaw, the “gamarty” of Aristotle, but not in the explicit form of the reasoning of the narrator-philologist from the “secret history” who opened the novel, but in the form of the final thoughts of the inevitability of incidents that happened to him.

Thematically “plowing” is built around the injury and its overcoming: the death of the mother and his guilt pursue Theodore. Another theme of the novel is the growing up of Theodore. The story describes the hero’s migration from the refuge to the refuge: the family of barburs, the father’s house, the Hobi workshop, the hotel in Amsterdam, where each of the locations is associated with different levels of the worried with Theodore.

The novel has a share of the “Russian” text. Theodore and his friend Boris, the Slavic immigrant, are discussing the novel by F. Dostoevsky “Idiot” - that is the name of one of the chapters of the novel. Then Tartt writes through the relationship of Theodore and Boris a western look at the organized crime of immigrants from the CIS countries. In the novel “Little Friend”, drugs are described exterioro and as a marker of dysfunctional family, and in “Schegla” opiates become a through theme: from a candy with morphine, which is prescribed to the young girlfriend of Theodore, to his own dependence in adulthood.

As in the case of previous novels, epigraphs play a special role in Schegle. Tartt premises each of the five parts of the epigraph novel, the consonant of the tonality of the part. The first part, which begins with the memoirs of Theodore about the terrorist attack and death of his mother, opens the famous words of Albert Camus from his essay “The Myth of Sisyphus” “Le mythe de sisyphe”,: “The absurdity does not free, he constrains.” In addition to Camu Tartt uses fragments from A.

Rimbo, F. Schiller and F. film adaptation of the right to film the film adaptation of the “secret history”, A. Pakula Kreizman was bought by Warner Brothers. The package died in a car accident, and the project was frozen for an indefinite period. This event was the reason for the gap between D. Tartt and its literary agent A. Urban, since Tartt lost the right to write the script during the transaction.

The film “Sell” “The Goldfinch”, shot by J. Crowley and adapted to the film adaptation by P. Strohan, known for work on the films “Spy, go out! The film failed at the box office and was negatively met by criticism. Published on June 2, the latest update on April 14 to contact the editors.
