In honor of To Kill a Mockingbird‘s 50th anniversary, Talmage Boston has a marvelous column in this week’s paper about Mary McDonagh Murphy’s Scout, Atticus & Boo: A Celebration of Fifty Years of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Another To Kill a Mockingbird summer read is Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee by Charles J. Shields. Published in 2007, it’s a fascinating book on the reclusive TKaM author Harper Lee. One revelation in the book is that friends provided her with enough money to quit her job and take a year to write the legendary novel.
