About
'Everything, somehow, fit together; some sly and benevolent Providence was revealing itself by degrees and I felt myself trembling on the brink of a fabulous discovery, as though any morning it was all going to come together---my future, my past, the whole of my life---and I was going to sit up in bed like a thunderbolt and say oh! oh! oh!'
Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries. But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.
"Drawing on classical tragedy and Gothic motifs, Tartt explores themes of obsession, transgression, and the dangers of intellectual pursuit. Similar to Shelley, Tartt unravels the Romantic preoccupation of knowledge and ruin." - Madison Willing, Sendb00ks artist October 2025
