i think the goldfinch crushed any (already slim) chances of this ever happening, but i sincerely hope tartt remains at a comfortable enough level of wealth so that she never has to sell the rights to this. they'd fuck it up beyond belief

i like it. some don't. it's not really that long or difficult to read, i'd recommend at least trying to give it a whirl. it's weird, it used to attract a lot of controversy because the main character curses a bit, but the not-totally-consensual sibling incest was what really stood out to me as being challenge-worthy.
