I think the brilliant thing that donna tartt accomplished in the secret history is that at first attempt reading it you‘re so hooked into the story, that it seems like a beautiful tragedy. Blood, Love, Hate, Death, Arts you get the full programm. But when you reread it, it becomes a satyr, a comedy. You see that it’s just Richard romantacicing everything they do, looking through his pink coloured glasses, and then you find it all ridiculous. I mean he even said it himself; „I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs“ (talking about the fatal flaw). So to sum it up, he got involved with a group of to-be murderer, even became one himself, that are getting high and murder a man in the name of a greek god, just because he found that they had pretty clothes and a nice way to carry themselves? WTF RICHARD?

i think about getting a the secret history friend group on a daily basis. Don‘t dare to think that that‘s healthy, but come on; discussions about greek and latin translations, drinking wine and listening to sb playing classic music on the piano…

me& my friend refer to the secret history and a little life only as the bible anymore. It‘s hilarious when i start my sentence with: „Do you remember the part in the bible when richard sniffed coke in a parkinglot?“ or we see a little life in a bookshop and shes like: „you see they have the bible here, they are very religious i guess“ The looks we get when sb listens to our conversation…
