Harper Lee (Up Close)

Read Kerry Madden's posts on the Penguin Blog.

Nelle Harper Leeâ‚¬sÂ To Kill a MockingbirdÂ was published in 1960 and became an instant bestseller. Two years later it was an Academy Awardâ‚¬â€œ winning film. Today, it remains standardâ‚¬"and belovedâ‚¬"reading in English classes. But Lee never wanted â‚¬Å“the bookâ‚¬Â to define who she was, which explains her aversion to any kind of publicity. Kerry Madden conducted extensive research for this Up Close biography, which reveals Lee to be a down-to-earth Southern woman who prefers to live simply, like her neighbors do, despite the fact that she is a treasured literary legend. Maddenâ‚¬s in-depth biography is now more relevant than ever: 2015â‚¬s historic release of Go Set a Watchmanâ‚¬"written by Lee before To Kill a Mockingbird and lost for decadesâ‚¬"has thrust Lee and her work back into the spotlight.
