“Maybe that’s why I tend to equate physical beauty with qualities with which it has absolutely nothing to do. I see a pretty mouth or a moody pair of eyes and imagine all sorts of deep affinities, private kinships. Never mind that half a dozen jerks are clustered round the same person, just because they’ve been duped by the same pair of eyes.” — *[Francis] “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt*

#TheSecretHistory by #DonnaTartt (1992)Quote:
Does such a thing as "the fatal flaw," that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does.7/32

If you’ve read #DonnaTartt’s #TheGoldfinch, you’ll love this story. Or even if you haven’t.

@aspiringcat
@bookstodon
@darkacademia
@benningtoncollege
@harrypotterA couple of thoughts:
Some folks consider #Hogwarts to be #DarkAcademia, and there are lots of #HarryPotter fans who would like to be students there.
I graduated from #BenningtonCollege, which #DonnaTartt used as a model for the college in "The Secret History." I occasionally ask myself whether I would choose that experience again, if I had a chance. I've never come to a firm conclusion!
