Inspirational Quotes by Donna Tartt (American Novelist)

Donna Louise Tartt (b.1963) is an American novelist and author of three acclaimed novels, including her celebrated début, The Secret History. She is a highly elusive artist, and not much is known about her private life.

Born in Greenwood, Mississippi, Tartt began work on her first novel while studying creative writing at Bennington College, Vermont. In the mid-1980s, she began working on her first novel about a group of intellectual college students who form a secret murderous cult. She took eight years to complete that story. The Secret History (1992) was published when she was 28 years old. It received rave reviews from critics, and it spent 13 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, sold millions of copies, and was translated into two dozen languages.

Tartt’s subsequent works are The Little Friend (2002; WH Smith Literary Award, 2003,) and The Goldfinch (2013; Pulitzer, 2014; Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, 2014; film adaptation, 2019.)
