"Ms. Tartt is a lifelong keeper of notebooks, and some of the earliest scenes in 'The Goldfinch' were taken from notes dated 1993. 'I was writing for a while not knowing what I was writing,' she said. 'That's the way it's been with all my books. Things come to you and you're not going to know exactly how they fit in. You have to trust in the way they all fit together, that your subconscious knows what you're doing.'"
--New York Times, October 21, 2013, in an article about The Goldfinch
