About Harper Lee

Harper Lee was an American novelist best known for her 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird. The book won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and became a classic of modern American literature. She also helped her close friend Truman Capote with research for In Cold Blood. An earlier draft of Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman, was published in 2015 as a sequel, and a later collection of her short stories and essays, The Land of Sweet Forever, was published after her death.
