Donna Tartt
Donna Tartt writes psychological suspense novels of extraordinary literary ambition, most notably The Secret History which essentially invented the dark academia genre. The Goldfinch won the Pulitzer Prize and confirmed her as a major American novelist. Her work blurs the line between literary fiction and crime novel with brilliant effect.
