He interrupts her and it pisses me off. Interviews with her are so rare; let her talk.
Such an incredible intellect. Her works are true masterpieces.
Yes, he has some good questions but he is a piss poor interviewer
FR he did the same thing when they had their first interview together back in 1992
It is so ridiculous that it’s almost comical. Everything she says is succinct and honest; every word is gold. Interrupting her feels like a crime. Unbearable to watch. Yet she keeps persisting to converse with the mortal. Bless her. It is no wonder she barely does interviews.
His interview technique comes from the fact originally back in the day (particularly 90s etc) they had a very exact time slot and usually publishers would need X number of questions answered, if you let the author ramble away on one question you don't get your 15- or 30-minute segment and your X number of questions answered.
Shows like this are non-existent now, and where rare even then, the fact we even get the interview is itself a marvel, despite its limitations.
He's very subtlety passive aggressive, in a typical male authoritarian manner. He's desperate to be seen as her intellectual equal, desperate for the audience to be as thrilled at what he says as they obviously are with what she has to say. It's obvious that he's jealous of her success, of her self-assured confident manner, of her pure happiness in being an author, and it bothers her not the least bit that it takes her 10 years to write a novel. She wouldn't have it any other way. She's not the stereotypical miserable, morose, depressed, withdrawn, lonely, suffering writer who labors 10 long years to finish a book. Oh, to the contrary! She's in love with what she does. She's a literary genius and I think it really bothers him. He rudely attempts to put her on the spot, expose her as a braggart when he commands her to recite the poem (I can't remember what it is) she has just mentioned that she says she recites to herself when she has to wait at the doctor's office. Would he have ordered a male author that way? He says to her "Recite it!" Typical male authoritarian attitude. God, she must be so sick of this type interview by now.
I love that this entire comment section is just as wholeheartedly in awe of Donna Tartt as I am.
Art takes time to be made. You cannot rush art. The fact that she takes so much time to write a book is because she creates sheer perfection with skill and the knowledge life offers along the way.
UR PROFILLLEEEE AHH NEALLLLLL!
Your proile picture 🥹🥹
i want to be as wise and beautiful minded as her when I'm older. I'm fourteen and have started reading the goldfinch, I'm about half way through it and I'm completely and utterly in love with everything about the novel. ever since i got the book my fingers have been glued to it and at the end of the day, when i have to put it down, my mind is racing with what will happen next. sometimes i can't even sleep because i want to continue with the book so badly and honestly that is exactly why i am so passionate about this novel. I'm so in love with the goldfinch and i am so excited to read her other books and the others in the future.
Right??? Her books are the only ones I don’t struggle to finish. Seeing the world through her lense just makes everything more beautiful.
Dalyla, if Donna reads your comment her heart will burst with joy!
Lol, sounds like me… Don’t do this, but I used to fake being sick so I could stay home from school to finish reading books. 🥰🤷♀️
And what are your thoughts on the Goldfinch as an 18-year-old now?
You’re 18 now(maybe 19). How is life treating you? ❤
The Secret History and The Goldfinch were absolute masterpieces.
Don't forget the Little Friend
Agree!!
@@tagorewithlyric4394 idk, I bought it but never got into it for some reason. It didn't have the same grab for me as the others did, but maybe I just need to make it further.
I'm really aching to read The secret history and i want to really understand it in depth and not have the literary references go over my head so what works /legends should i be familiar with before reading it?
@@andreea9348 the main group of characters are studying classics, so many of the allusions and concepts dealt with are from Greek tragedies
she's basically the mother and embodiment of dark academia. just look at her. glamorous.
totally agree. Looking out for her new book! The Goldfinch was wonderful.
That is the embodiment of Western Civilization and European genes, that also gave birth to Charles Dickens.
@@islamtoghuj what do “european genes” have to do with anything
Ironically, The Secret History is both a critique and parody of dark academia’s aesthetics and ideas, despite being what inspired the trend.
@@victoriansquirrel Elitism and classism
I cannot stand when people interrupt their interviewees... Donna is wonderful, her writing absolutely excellent.
Donna Tartt is one of the best writers of her generation. The only shame about her is that it takes her 10 years for a novel to finish. But the good side about that of course is that then it's perfect.
"one of the best writers of her generation"
I actually laughed out loud at that
@@TomorrowWeLive who would you say is better, and why is she not among them?
@@papatrudell7731 wondering this as well out of actual curiosity
@@TomorrowWeLive What a brilliant criticism Mr Fascist! You should tell her that she's no good.
@@TomorrowWeLive because you'rs a nasty, jealous misogynist?
I am completely obsessed with her and her writing.
Imagine what will come out in 3-4 years from now.
@@KanwarAnand can't wait
Without the internet I would have probably never seen these wonderful interveiws! I am so grateful for the internet!
but, but cyberbullying, but, but instagram models! Yes, the internet is the greatest thing of all time, it's crazy how many people casually dismiss it and will even say life was better before it, so silly.
"Nothing worthwhile is easy". She's such a beautiful wise soul. This is something I really need to remind myself more often.
Thank you Donna 💕
i can't wait for her fourth novel
i have never felt more connected emotionally to a book than to the Goldfinch. This is a great novel.
He's really a great interviewer. He always responds with authentic interest and he picks up on the things we want explained and expressed as viewers/ fans. And more than anything he seems to know what he's talking about without interrupting.
yeah he seems like a good enough interviewer, I dont get the hate in the comments
@@krabbykat9918 misandry
Except that he forgot that he met her 20 years earlier in 1992 lol or at least the way he said it, that’s how it came off.
Ashamed to ask, Not knowing "his Name" without interrupting Ms. Tartt's interview. I do agree 💯%
@@derickyyollis710 Charlie Rose
Her eyes are still so bright. They're so mesmerizingly youthful.
What a beautiful woman, honestly.
o yes. And I would kill my entire family for that jacket....
who cares? it's about her talent.
DONNA TARTT IS A GENIUS and BRILLIANT wise soul. I love her presentation... beautiful, elegance and a brilliant mind. She is a mazing and a great author. Kudos! ,Donna ,for trusting your subconscious mind.
The Goldfinch is a masterpiece, and Donna Tart is a genius. Even if I have to wait 10 years for her next book it’s completely worth it 💕
She's a gem.
DONNA TARTT IS A GENIUS. BRILLIANT.
When she’s reciting Sailing to Byzantium, somewhat meek, disconnected, nervous - and then transforms. She falls into that muscle memory and embodies the words, eyes glowing, voice confident and steeped in power. I get chills
Her writing is the perfect mix of modern and classic
so witty, you never know just what she's thinking. the almost androgynous way she dresses, the way she's so subtle hardly anyone knows details about her personal life. the look in her eyes. she makes a fool of death and puts the greek gods to shame. i wish to be like her.
Over 20 years have passed between the two.
brilliant interviewer! and donna’s articulation is really just amazing. wow!
Oh, my. What a remarkable woman. What a mind.
So sad he kept trying to impress her .
This is such a good book. I may read it again. Thank you for posting this.
She says Art is a still point. A bit of eternity. A respite.
Staggeringly precise poetry from a great mind. Loved this interview even though I have not read one of her books yet…❤️👁
Love work & good health all. 🙏🏻🌋🗽🌿
Looove this interview! Especially Tartt‘s description of her process!
I love her with all my heart. Очень.
Sophie Борис, ето ты?
10:12 He met her for the first time? What about the interview from 1992? Charlie Rose is really annoying...
Yeah. Wth...
when you meet someone once, and then meet them 10 years later, you are meeting a whole new person. Charlie rose is a very self-centered interviewer, true. But i think he is right when he says he "just met her".
I thought the same thing. It's rude.
I can't believe he said that! How could you meet such an extraordinary crafts person and not remember?
Reading the goldfinch after watching the movie, such a rollicking good story, so many twists and turns so beautifully, vividly and artistically described. Masterful writer ❤️
Beauty, elegance, and a brilliant mind
Charlie is a mess BUT so few interviewers these days are so deeply and well-read. I wish there was an opportunity for one of his long format interviews (60' +) with Miss Tartt.
I am A Chemistry,Mathematics Devotee,About 5 Years Ago I Started Studying Donna Tart,She is Valuable And Special Like Take the Charles Dickens Example, She Is A Genius A Great Influence, One Will Never Tire Of Her Excitement,She is My Hero!
We lived in Maine in the 50’s, the bookmobile was your lifeline.
Eine der besten Schriftstellerin unserer Zeit Einfach nur Klasse!!
She is a dark academia vampire and i am HERE for it.
ALSO - I finished this book a week ago. And I'm not over it. At all.
Adore your books, edgy, and paints a beautiful canvas with hidden elements, where there is always more to be found.
16:22 when she started to recite sailing to Byzantium ❤ love this part always makes me feel better
She is so chic. Absolute icon.
I like watching this often and I always go back at 16:20
Is this the same guy from 1992 that kept interrupting her? For the love of god don’t let men interview her again…
She’s an honest artist and an honest person. She ts trading her life to make her books. How can we complain?
@ 10;46 there’s a shaft of joy cutting through in her answer, I like how much she says with her face.
the dislikes are from the people who hate the interviewers interrupting an intellectual woman when she speaks.
>intellectual
kek
He interrupts Martin Amis too.
A detective might ask Charlie Rose about saying he just met her . He interviewed her several decades ago on her first novel.
Interesting writer with real ideas and questions, had not known her before, many thanks.
What is it with these interviewers interrupting this woman!!
He's a bad interviewer, and yet, he and Larry King made a career from it.
Happened a lot in their previous interview
@@gregoryblaska1586 Wow, I didn't realize at first that this was Charlie Rose. I was listening to it in the background while I was working. He creeped me out talking about her persona and the color of her skin, etc. I looked to see who the interviewer was and then it made sense. I love her books and hope she has something new in the works.
That was standard procedure for Charlie Rose. Back in the 90s me and my girlfriend made a drinking game of it 😂
Because the interviewer is really creepy and has an inferiority complex
8:30 that's it. That's exactly what writing a book is like🥰
I'm looking forward to her upcoming work "You Never Really Know What Kind Of A Jackass Is Interviewing You"
I take it you don’t like Charlie Rose - But you worship his exceptional creative power -
What a remarkable woman; and author....
Dear Donna Tartt, I have read a modest 280 books in my 36 years. I have read 24 books so far in 2020. Not only is the Goldfinch the best of those 24 books I read this year but it might just be the absolute best I have ever read. Can I say thank you and cocoon myself to a fan? No. I feel the coincidences and parallels with my life, the references (hidden/sarcastic) were almost always open to me and somehow just by some patterny intervention, I knew all the cities you mention in the book.
why count?
u stalking bro?
At this point I'll buy anything she puts out instantly
12:29 absolutely brilliant
She was too nice to him
She`s a genius writer!
Liked it very much.......the love of literature.
wow they both aged so much since the last interview you put up!
D o n n a T a r a t t i s a n a v i d s m o k e r .
22 years will do that.
Yes she does.
I find her beautiful in many ways least of all her graceful aging which we all will do!
She's fifty years old here.. i think she looks happy and amazing!
She did't change same soul ♡
Incredible person
She is Such a Nice and Admirable lady!😃
And I adore her narrationof Charles Portres "True Grit "
I write my books at a slow pace, and I am about to be done with Book 7. Truth be told, there are authors who tend to write at a fast pace while there are some who write at a slow pace. Nothing wrong with writing at a slow pace, for I believe books that take quite some time to be written result in beautiful masterpieces.
Fantastic interview!
She’s so sensitive and a little nervous and he keeps interrupting her it’s so frustrating. Interviewers annoy me lately. Tom Bilyeu is the best interviewer, good questions, really listens.
Rockin' the Weimar Berlin look
my favorite writer
fascinating interview; i learned a lot! thanks
she is a great she is artist
The interviewer is just like Bunny :)
HAHAH my sentiments exactly 😂
Loool absolutely
Yes yes
I love her! ❤
Charlie needs 2 let her finish her thoughts/sentences! He's very demanding! Lighten up dude! ✌☮
God she's gorgeous, clever, stylish, classy. The list continues!
I just don’t thing she’s all that bright or engaging. Im obviously kidding. I’m in love with this woman and I don’t care who knows it!
I've just watched this guy interview Donna in 1992.... let's see if he interrupts her just as much in 2014 as he did then....
I wanna marry her
She’s so beautiful
She sounds like Miyazaki about creating a story
what do you mean exactly?
She's so Cool
Love her shoutout to Charles Dickens. He really is that good.
“I’ve just met you”
Hang on, didn’t you interview her in 92 ?
Exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for commenting this.
Much better interviewer than the person on 1992
"This is it. This is my form. This is what I do."
She reminds me of Cate Blanchett
How so?
When I was in college in the '80s one year I bought my girlfriend a men's tie for her birthday. It was a big mistake.........with her. This woman would have appreciated it.
im obsessed with her
I feel so uncomfortable when he's talking about her persona, her look, and then demanding she recite something to him. I feel like he's openly flirting with her and it's ew.
and why does he act like he just met her when he interviewed her after her first book?
Yeah, Charlie Rose is really cringy. His other interviews are like that, too.
After it came that he was sexually harassing women, and I look back at these interviews, it makes my skin crawl. He was clearly grooming her to give him what his sordid fantasies wanted to hear. Yuk!
@@VanJolene come on, quit this nonsense. It has become fashionable to accuse white men of sexual harassment, even though most of these allegations are purely invented and just follow a despicable political agenda.
Charlie Rose's comments about Donna Tartt are creepy.
Yo bob is fye
That really isn’t the voice I thought she’d have, but I like it
Fantastic interview with an incredible Lady and novelist. I miss Charlie Rose.
Miss ya Charlie.
Charlie interrupts everyone he interviews so much. I've seen a lot of them---John Irving, Stephen King, Donna Tartt, and J.K. Rowling. I wish he'd let them finish talking before he speaks.
I like the direction Donna is taking the interview. Charlie keeps cutting the flow of the conversation
I sincerely miss Mr. Rose.
if he interrupts her one more time, so help me!!!!!!! LET HER TALK!
i look at donna tartt and some some reason i wish i was her daughter. and it comes from deep inside
Think I'm in love.
