The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Thursday, September 24, 12-1 PM, in the library's Ringwalt Room

From the New York Times review published on September 4, 1992: "How best to describe Donna Tartt's enthralling first novel? Imagine the plot of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment crossed with the story of Euripides' Bacchae set against the backdrop of Bret Easton Ellis's Rules of Attraction and told in the elegant, ruminative voice of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited. The product, surprisingly enough, isn't a derivative jumble, but a remarkably powerful novel that seems sure to win a lengthy stay on the best-seller lists."
