Harper Lee

While reading the interview of Harper Lee, the author of To kill a mockingbird, I realized that it was a part of a very nice website dedicated to her. The website has been so lovingly put together by Jane Kansas, and has tons of (neatly organized) information, together with the other writings of Harper Lee.

For example, I found this 'foreword' by her to the the 35th anniversary edition of Mockingbird, except that was a letter she wrote to her agent protesting that she didn't want one! "Introductions inhibit pleasure", she says, "they kill the joy of anticipation, they frustrate curiosity".

Do check out the entire site. It's a must see for all fans of Mockingbird.
