The Secret History has been my favorite book for years. This is the first time I've ever thought of taking a peek around on the internet to see if anyone else loves it, since it's not well known by any means. I was hoping to poke around and see if anyone here was still around perhaps? I just reread it for the first time in a year and my love for these characters has been born anew. I forgot how beautifully illustrated they all are.
If anyone is still here, let me know. Lets discuss. Let's be geeks. Embarrassing internet fans. etc. etc.

Right, this place looks pretty... redistributed.
But just in case someone still reads this: hi, I'm new, and I come bearing a question and a silly gift.
Question first: I talked to my Latin teacher about this book when I'd just finished it, and she said what she found most disturbing in it (probably because of her job) was Julian, how he discovers that he's lost control of these carefully groomed pupils, discovers how far it's gone, and then just runs off.
So I was wondering - this book has a lot of aspects, but one can't deny that it's chilling. Which parts of it did the people here find most disturbing?
And a little something silly I came across on youtube, hope it hasn't been posted before. Baa baa baa.

Hey The Secret History fans! This community looks kind of dead, but I thought I'd post anyway in the hope that someone still reads it.
I read the novel for the time last last month and I absolutely fell in love with it. It's been stuck in my mind ever since-- so much so that I ended up doing my fantasy casting for  recastaway on it.
If you're interested you can check it out here. And feel free to post your own casting in the community, if you have one!

The other one was deleted. Here's a different one- reminds me of Henry.

| Casting The Secret History... again. |
[03 Dec 2008|05:16pm] |
I posted this casting of "The Secret History" over at picspammy ages ago - but somehow completely forgot to post it here! I am rectifying that immediately. I started working on how I would cast the book before I even finished it. Donna Tartt's characters are just so alive it is hard not to picture them in real life. I know this book has been casted by fans everywhere, so please no hate if you disagree! |

I'm so happy to have found that community! I've read The Secret History at least 10 times, it's probably one of the best books ever written and surely my favourite! I memorized some parts at the point that I can repeat them almost word for word...
"Simon Woods as Francis Abernathy": oh, God, he's PERFECT!

I was thinking Julian should be a little older with a little more European sophistication. Maybe
Udo Kier who was in Shadow of the Vampire.

| Casting 'The Secret History' |
[10 Apr 2008|07:03pm] |
Alright, I am ever-hoping that this will become a film. If it does. Here are my casting choices. Try to imagine them AS the characters, and not as the characters in the films in which they've played previously.
And yes, I know there are a lot of Harry Potter actors. It just worked out that way.
Sean Biggerstaff as Richard Papen-
Thinner, paler, more American. Yes.
Christian Coulson as Henry Winter-
Bespectacled- he's already evil enough.
Scarlett and Hunter Johansson as Camilla and Charles Macaulay-
I think it could work... maybe.
Robert Pattison as Bunny Corcoran-
Definitely heavier, bespectacled, and far more of a jerk than Cedric Diggory.
Simon Woods as Francis Abernathy-
If you saw 'Rome', you would know that he is certainly evil enough for this part.
Robert Sean Leonard as Julian-
Yes, yes, yes. For one, he read out the audiobook. Secondly, he just needs to be Julian.
So, there is my cast. What do you all think?

If this is too offtopic, feel free to delete it. We have a Camilla Macaulay player in the game, and we may be getting a Bunny Corcoran, so we're definitely looking for more characters from The Secret History! Note: We may be picky when it comes to Henry. XD

I'm trying to weave Donna Tartt's The Secret History into my master's thesis. I study 19C Gothic literature, but I'm dedicated to working The Secret History into my thesis. Is anyone else doing academic work on this novel? I'm looking for fellow Tartt scholars. globalgothicgirl@yahoo.ca

I think I am definitely going to have to write one of these, I just don't know how to go about it yet...

After work today, I decided to make myself a delicious dinner. And, on a whim, I decided to make a marmalade and cream cheese sandwich [just like our favorite incestual twins!]

for now I'm just going to link to the page of all of them, as the authors for 2007 haven't been revealed yet
I don't know where else to look, and I'd love to read more -- and in the past week we've had a couple of posts about wanting to read more TSH fic as well. So bring it on!

Hi, I found this community and was very interested to find that we were reading 'The Secret History' at the same time, but had no one to talk to about it because of its faded glory. Anyway, I would love to see fanfiction from this, and I agree that the fandom should be re-established^^

| I'm about half-way through the book... |
[22 Dec 2007|12:24am] |

And it's pretty hard-core so far.
And....I have this inexplicable urge to write smutty-slash between Henry and Francis.
But....I know I need to finish the book first.
*sigh*
Anyways, I just want to say that this fandom should be re-vived and alive.
<3
And that...I am so tempted to read all of this communities posts and I'm using all of my power to resist the temptation...

| some questions for the college. |
[03 Dec 2007|03:55pm] |
I'd be interested in any comments in relation to the following as they're incidents from The Secret History that have always caused a moment to pause before continuing to read.
1. The moon thing.
While there is - I think - an element of ambiguity as to who knew and who didn't know that mankind had managed to land on the moon, it's a given that Henry is certainly one who had no idea that this had occurred. Now much analysis has been done on dating activities in the book and many seem to think it closes around 1989. Given the age of the characters, July 1969 would certainly not be something that might have experienced BUT to have no cultural exposure to this? While it's perhaps to be expected that Henry doesn't spend very much time in pop culture land, is it possible for someone to have not known this? I'm not sure at what age his fabled car accident occurred (an event which seems to have established his uncomment mental abilities) and so I would wonder if even before that he might not have heard of this.
Still - put simply....any thoughts?
2. Bunny and Taxation.
During a performance, Bunny decides to embarrass everyone with his exclamation along the lines of "well, the whole world shoulda been taxed." Now that's kind of odd coming from Bunny who doesn't come across as someone who would necessarily celebrate the imposition of taxation.
Any thoughts?
