He interrupts her and it pisses me off. Interviews with her are so rare; let her talk.
Such an incredible intellect. Her works are true masterpieces.

I love that this entire comment section is just as wholeheartedly in awe of Donna Tartt as I am.

[FanOfAyn]

The Secret History and The Goldfinch were absolute masterpieces.

Art takes time to be made. You cannot rush art. The fact that she takes so much time to write a book is because she creates sheer perfection with skill and the knowledge life offers along the way.

i want to be as wise and beautiful minded as her when I'm older. I'm fourteen and have started reading the goldfinch, I'm about half way through it and I'm completely and utterly in love with everything about the novel. ever since i got the book my fingers have been glued to it and at the end of the day, when i have to put it down, my mind is racing with what will happen next. sometimes i can't even sleep because i want to continue with the book so badly and honestly that is exactly why i am so passionate about this novel. I'm so in love with the goldfinch and i am so excited to read her other books and the others in the future.

she's basically the mother and embodiment of dark academia. just look at her. glamorous.

[MissesMarble]

I cannot stand when people interrupt their interviewees... Donna is wonderful, her writing absolutely excellent.

[thesophsticate]

I am completely obsessed with her and her writing.

[kittyviveen]

Donna Tartt is one of the best writers of her generation. The only shame about her is that it takes her 10 years for a novel to finish. But the good side about that of course is that then it's perfect.

[pompom]

"Nothing worthwhile is easy". She's such a beautiful wise soul. This is something I really need to remind myself more often.
Thank you Donna 💕

[niagratang]

Without the internet I would have probably never seen these wonderful interveiws! I am so grateful for the internet!

[rs]

i can't wait for her fourth novel

[oscarmao]

i have never felt more connected emotionally to a book than to the Goldfinch. This is a great novel.

[alyssakoski]

When she’s reciting Sailing to Byzantium, somewhat meek, disconnected, nervous - and then transforms. She falls into that muscle memory and embodies the words, eyes glowing, voice confident and steeped in power. I get chills

[gigibeah]

The Goldfinch is a masterpiece, and Donna Tart is a genius. Even if I have to wait 10 years for her next book it’s completely worth it 💕

[barkhadleblogsmediatv]

DONNA TARTT IS A GENIUS and BRILLIANT wise soul. I love her presentation... beautiful, elegance and a brilliant mind. She is a mazing and a great author. Kudos!, Donna, for trusting your subconscious mind.

[jashael]

Her eyes are still so bright. They're so mesmerizingly youthful.

[robertbeckerbecker]

He's really a great interviewer. He always responds with authentic interest and he picks up on the things we want explained and expressed as viewers/ fans. And more than anything he seems to know what he's talking about without interrupting.

[KelliHarrah]

She is a dark academia vampire and i am HERE for it.

ALSO - I finished this book a week ago. And I'm not over it. At all.

[MarkGunnells]

Over 20 years have passed between the two.
