Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee by Charles J. Shields
4.0
Where was this book three years ago when I was writing my thesis? It’s outdated, obviously, as this biography claims that Lee has never published another novel. It does, however, support my own theories that “Go Set A Watchman” was published only because greedy corporate leeches wanted another cash cow.
This book is well researched, especially considering how difficult Lee made things after disappearing from the public eye. It made me wish I could have picked her brain in college, if she would let me get close. This biography feels honest, perhaps in an attempt to imitate Lee an her down-to-earth roots.
My dad bought this for me for three bucks at the thrift store when I begged him because I didn’t have any cash. I think it was well worth the investment.
