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*

Ramon van Dam's review of The Secret History
5/5: When I read Donna Tartt's debut novel as a teenager it immediately struck me and stayed with me, so I decided to get a copy as a gift to my wife over a decade later in our twenties and read it again myself. This time around I have finished it for a third time whilst preparing to discuss it with my family's book club. I am curious - but also a bit scared? - to find out how they will react in a couple of days. For me, the story and the characters are just as powerful as before. Our protagonist Richard Papen is not without his own flaws and neither are any of the people he gets to meet during...

I know I’m probably the only person who likes The Secret History on here, but, if I’m not and if that someone else wants to draw The Secret History characters, listen to me. Camilla doesn’t have long hair and she doesn’t often wear dresses, that’s the devil speaking. Her hair is canonically only slightly longer than Charles’ and in a masculine cut, and she routinely steals his clothes.
Sincerely, someone who supports all artists doing whatever the hell they want but is also quite frankly tired of only ever seeing her drawn in long hair and frilly dresses
