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.

UR PROFILLLEEEE AHH NEALLLLLL!

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

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

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?

Imagine what will come out in 3-4 years from now.

@@KanwarAnand can't wait

"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?

RIGHT???? She always had those thinking pauses before saying something and it's so lovely

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.

o yes. And I would kill my entire family for that jacket....

who cares? it's about her talent.

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

Sophie Борис, ето ты?

>intellectual kek

He interrupts Martin Amis too.

He's a bad interviewer, and yet, he and Larry King made a career from it.

Happened a lot in their previous interview

Charlie Rose always liked two things: 1) His perceived superior intellect & "with-it" cool and, 2) Listening to himself talk. His interviewees are simply a means to amplify those ends. Donna Tartt is a FEMALE person of Talent, Intelligence and Substance; given what we have learned about Rose, can you imagine how much HE needed to put HER under HIS control?

@@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.

@@lindaharbison9567 I remember Susan Sarandon being interviewed by Rose and putting him in his place. When he semi-salaciously asked if she was somewhat uncomfortable about her lovemaking with Catherine Deneuve in THE HUNGER, Sarandon screwed a look on him and snapped back, "Well, let me ask you something, Charlie: What would YOU have felt given an opportunity to sleep with Catherine Deneuve?" He responded with a defeated chuckle and said, "You have a point. . ." To which Sarandon masterfully replied "UNH, HUNH" with an unrelenting (you-stupid-F*CK) deadpan stare. It's so clear what he's "up to" with Tartt, here -- what a schmuck! I was way more adept and worlds more considerate as a teenager in the 8th grade.

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.

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!

I take it you don’t like Charlie Rose - But you worship his exceptional creative power -

why count?

u stalking bro?

Exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for commenting this.

HAHAH my sentiments exactly 😂

Loool absolutely

Yes yes

what do you mean exactly?

How so?

I dont get where you got that impression, i saw nothing rude. infact it was a smart interview. He knows how to lead and enables the interviewee to keep the rambling to a minimum

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.
