Harper Lee died yesterday. Anyone who ever read "To Kill A Mockingbird" or saw the 1962 film and didn't come away deeply affected never really understood American (and particularly Southern) literature.


Nelle Harper, we pass the damn ham in your honor and memory.

I saw the announcement earlier but you beat me to the post. RIP Harper Lee

 

FWIW a little trivia.

!st role of Robert Duvall in the movie staring Gregory Peck

 

Boo Radley of course...

 

Her work was a true classic. Its has survived the test of time and will continue to.

Great motion picture as well.

 

In her own way Harper Lee probably did a lot to further civil rights, yet she shunned publicity. The world is a lesser place without her.

Roger.
