Here
is a little piece on her:
FOR
more than half a century “To Kill a Mockingbird” has been revered
as a literary classic, the story of Scout and Jem Finch, a young
sister and brother (and their naughty friend, Dill Harris, based on
Truman Capote) who are all trying to make sense of the bewildering,
bigoted American South in the 1930s. The novel sold 40m copies, won a
Pulitzer prize and was made into a much-loved film, starring Gregory
Peck as the siblings’ father, Atticus Finch, a heroic white lawyer
who defends a black man accused of raping a white woman. Its fame was
enhanced by the way the author, Harper Lee, who was only 34 when the
book came out, reacted to becoming famous. Now 89 and living in a
home, she has refused all requests for an interview.
