Tom Brown's School Days is much better than it's imitators

>>18136090
Isn’t that all “literary fiction”?

She can take mad dick.
>>18136090
Such a midwit take. Genre fiction / literary fiction isn't a useful distinction.

The secret history was so pleasurable, I love her

>>18136386
Tell me more anon.

>>18136065
first of all, she is fucking hot The secret history was really kino. It gave me the same feeling as when I was reading girls' romance books as a kid. 10/10 would recommand.

Donna tartt

>>18136635
Just watched an interview with her, and I agree, it really is.

>>18136657
I think because she's a lesbian catholic.

>>18136657
>talented well known woman author
>doesn't use her 'platform' to further the cause
>same midwits complaining no one reads women authors also calling Goldfinch trash because there aren't enough woman characters or "women themes"

Gonna Fartt lol

>>18136715
Holy based

Here's a more recent picture, from 2019 I think she still cute

Also how is The Secret History? I haven't read it because the only people talking about it are teenagers on Youtube and usually that's a surefire sign that a book is not worth reading

>>18136722
oops

>>18136713
All the the donna-esque please.

>>18136733
It's fun. Especially if you went to uni. If you read some of the greeks, you'll see some cool references. If you're a bit knowledgeable you'll a lot a mistake but it makes the characterisation better imo.

>>18136466
>reading girls' romance books as a kid

>>18136853
Yes.

>>18136065
Tartt is /ourgirl/

>>18136065
Not a galaxy-brain like Shakespeare or Tolstoy or even the great female writers like Eliot and the Brontës.

Nonetheless, I like her. She doesn’t take art as a didactic or political tool, she just revels in the aesthetic pleasure of literature and storytelling. She’s a mix of Nabokov and Dickens but less talented. I would be happy if there were more writers like her who liked writing fun stories that combine a respect and admiration for classic writers while having dramatic and exciting plots. And also the slice of life kind of stuff in the first half of The Secret History, and the stuff about the antique shop in The Goldfinch, was comfy, I really enjoyed that even though it wasn’t absolutely necessary to the plot.

And she’s hot.

Also, she dresses impeccably.

>>18136934
What would you talk about if you were with her on a first date? I'm getting nervous just by thinking about how plain and one-dimensional my sentences would seem compared to hers.

>>18136956
She seems very relaxed and casual in interviews.

>>18136715
dangerously based

>>18136715
Imagine the smell

>>18136926
yeah I think that's why she's more tolerable than other writers nowadays; she doesn't come off as pretentious and it seems like she's not aspiring to create high literature or anything like that, she's just trying to make something fun to read

>>18136065
her work is derivative buuuulllllshhiiiittttt

>>18136733
She looks kind of like Charles from MDE

>>18136934
She does

>>18136934
I wonder if Audrey from Twin Peaks was based on her
