Detailed item info

Synopsis
Few literary figures are more difficult to write about than Harper Lee, the author of the Pulitzer-winning TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Though TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD has sold over 30 million copies, and is a staple of high-school syllabuses throughout the country, it is Lee's only novel. Shortly after its publication, she retreated from the public eye and has not granted interviews or assisted with any biographical work since--this book included. Despite these obstacles, Charles J. Shields has gamely spent four years gathering what he can, and through hundreds of interviews, and the use of some of Lee's notes for her friend Truman Capote's non-fiction novel IN COLD BLOOD, he has created the best portrait of the enigmatic author currently available. Still, there are numerous gaps and omissions, and the most illuminating sections concern the years leading up to 1960, the year when Lee finished her magnificent literary act, took her bow, and stepped backstage--seemingly forever.
