There are a handful of interviews with Donna Tartt on YouTube, mostly from when Goldfinch was published. It's interesting to see and hear her. She's a curious tiny thing, and wears men's suits. I adore her.
I like to try to stay unspoiled, so I will come back to these resources after finishing the book. One article I came across hooked me with its headline: "Why I Hated The Secret History by Donna Tartt - and why talking about it made me change my mind". Here's the link http://www.readitforward.com/essay/wh... - again I haven't actually read the article yet.

Someone on Litsy was talking about TSH reminding them of The Raven Cycle. I tried to go back and find the Litsy post to drop these links but couldn't find it. Interesting reading from MF's Tumblr on TSH:http://www.maggiestiefvater.com/blog/...

I got Richard. I'm glad I'm not Henry in any case.
The Secret History character I am is Henry. Luckily, I don’t own a gun. My life insurance payments are current, though, if I ever do snap.

Every summer, Frank and Gwen choose a summer read for the other. This year, The Secret History was one of those picks, which is what made me realize maybe I should read it.
