Donna Tartt answers a few questions about "The Secret History"

There are two reasons why it's fitting to share an interview with author Donna Tartt.

One, it's her birthday today.

And two, her thirty-year-old novel The Secret History is back in the spotlight, as the Read With Jenna book club's December selection.

Tartt, who tries to live a private life, did agree to answer eleven questions about The Secret History, mostly from Read With Jenna members (the rest come from Jenna Hager Bush herself).

But of course ... it's a written, not filmed, Q&A.
