Search Crime / Punishment Donna Tartt's "The Little Friend" Reviewed by Bill Bickel For about 200 pages, this is a wonderful novel: slow-paced and atmospheric not "slow-paced and atmospheric" in the sense of "this is clearly fine literature but not something anybody would actually want to read for enjoyment", but genuinely a joy to read. It's the story of a Mississippi family, once rich and now trying to keep up appearances, and how their lives change after 9-year-old Robin is found murdered in the family's own back yard. The protagonist is Harriet Crews Dufresnes, a spirited, outspoken, too-bright-for-her-own-good preadolescent who obviously owes a great deal to "Scout" Finch. She lives with her willowy older sister who might or might not remember something about their brother's death twelve years earlier, the mother who never recovered from the shock and grief, her imperious grandmother, three eccentric great-aunts, and the black housekeeper who raised the children. The summer she turned 12, Harriet has a dream that seems to tell he she needs to solve the mystery of her brother's death.

Zadie Smith's The Autograph Man , Dave Eggers' You Shall Know Our Velocity , and, of course, The Little Friend by Donna Tartt. Tartt's, perhaps, was the release awaited with the most bated breath, after the runaway success of her first book, The Secret History , published nearly ten years ago. Rumors have swelled for years not only about her debut (and the much-batted-around idea of a film adaptation) but of her follow-up. And now that her second installment has been published, nearly as much hay has been made about her return as about the book itself. Like The Secret History The Little Friend The Little Friend is technically a much tighter, mature book than

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.

  • "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.

    FILM ... All Cities in California Ten Years in the Making Donna Tartt's The Little Friend by Kevin Smokler While it's probably not fair to hold Donna Tartt's new novel, The Little Friend, up to her absurdly successful debut, The Secret History (1992), it's impossible not to. More than a decade has passed since the 28-year-old, Mississippi-born, Bennington-educated Tartt strode confidently onto the literary scene in 1992 with The Secret History. Her debut novel took Tartt a reputed ten years to write, scored her a record-breaking advance and spent over a year on the bestseller list. While fans and critics waited for the follow-up, Tartt simply said she was working on it, retreating into the same literary silence from which she had emerged. Now, another ten years later, Tartt's sophomore novel is on bookstore shelves, with all the anticipation and hype following like a marching band behind the parade marshal's car. Worth the wait?

    For the rest of her life, Charlotte Cleve would blame herself for her son's death because she had decided to have the Mother's Day dinner at six in the evening instead of noon, after church, which is when the Cleves usually had it. Dissatisfaction had been expressed by the elder Cleves at the new arrangement; and while this mainly had to do with suspicion of innovation, on principle, Charlotte felt that she should have paid attention to the undercurrent of grumbling, that it had been a slight but ominous warning of what was to come; a warning which, though obscure even in hindsight, was perhaps as good as any we can ever hope to receive in this life. But Robin: their dear little Robs. More than ten years later, his death remained an agony; there was no glossing any detail; its horror was not subject to repair or permutation by any of the narrative devices that the Cleves knew. And-since this willful amnesia had kept Robin's death from being translated into that sweet old family vernacular which smoothed even the bitterest mysteries into comfortable, comprehensible form-the memory of that day's events had a chaotic, fragmented quality, bright mirror-shards of nightmare which flared at the smell of wisteria, the creaking of a clothes-line, a certain stormy cast of spring light.

    THE LITTLE FRIEND.
    By Donna Tartt.
    Knopf, $26; 555 pp. DONNA Tartt's first novel, The Secret History , published when its author was just 28 years old, turned out to be a huge hit translated into 23 languages, three-months on the best-seller list and still in print. Now, after a 10-year intermission, Tartt's eagerly awaited second novel has appeared, and it looks like another winner. Fans of Tartt's first novel, among whom I include myself, will definitely find much to admire in The Little Friend , even though the two books are very different.

    The Secret History
    Donna Tartt
    Penguin 1993 Amazon A book review by Danny Yee studying ancient Greek warps the minds of the young? When I first came across The Secret History in the bookshop, I checked it out in the hope that it was a historical novel based on Procopius' history of the same title (a contemporary "behind the scenes" account of sixth century Byzantium). Though this was not the case and I ended up reading Tartt's novel much later on the recommendation of friends the identity of names is not a complete coincidence. The Secret History tells the story of the classical Greek class, six students and their teacher, at a liberal arts college on the east coast of the United States, through the reminiscences of one of those students. These seven characters dominate the novel completely, standing forth with the clarity and intensity of actors in a Greek tragedy. The "normal" events of college life the drug-dealing, the sex, the suicides , which would have been the subject of most novels with this setting, end up being relegated to insignificance; they are simply the backdrop to the terrible drama that unfolds. 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;

Le deuxième prend le même chemin Cette réserve formulée, venons-en à l’essentiel: son écriture si précise, si visuelle, si implacable; son tempo dramatique, qui ne cesse de croître jusqu’à son finish à couper le souffle; la tendresse douloureuse qu’elle éprouve pour ses personnages, même les drogués, les prédicateurs hallucinés, les dresseurs de serpents, les idiots grelottants, les assassins malgré eux; son univers en somme, où l’enfance ressemble à un mauvais rêve, à un poison que les adultes en général vous ont inoculé, et dont il est difficile de sortir indemne. «Le Petit Copain», par Donna Tartt, traduit de l’américain par Anne Rabinovitch, Plon, 614 p., 23,50 euros.
