Andrea and I discuss Donna Tartt's The Secret History, a novel I have loved since it came out and which Andrea encountered through a book club. This is not a book appropriate to be taught at Brookewood, but one for adults interested in family and friendship, in the consequences of actions. The novel stands out for its memorable characters, its relationship to Dostoyevsky and to Greek tragedy, and its brilliant writing. We have fun talking about it, and hope you'll enjoy our conversation.
