deadwhiterabbit 's review for:
The Goldfinch
by Donna Tartt
Yes Tartt has problematic things in her books. Now that that’s said:
This book.
This book. I believe it has changed me. It has struck me as deeply as The Goldfinch painting struck Theo. I don’t care to try to describe it, like some spiritual experience that is too “otherly” to put into words that could never truly connote what you mean.
And in typical Tartt fashion, all from the last chaper of an almost 800 page book of well-written but general storybook fiction. Not special, good.. but just a story. Like a boring life until the second of death where it all had meaning.
