The Goldfinch

The film rights for Donna Tartt's 700+ page Pulizter Prize-winning novel The Goldfinch have been acquired by Warner Bros. Whether or not an actual movie will be produced remains to be seen: Tartt's The Secret History was optioned and has yet to make it to the screen.

Congratulations are in order for Donna Tartt, whose 784-page book, The Goldfinch, a "beautifully written coming-of-age novel with exquisitely drawn characters," has just been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Raise your hand if you've read it.
