We want to live in a black and white world.
We want to believe that a good person is 100% good and that a bad person is 100% bad. The reality is that nobody is 100% one way or the other.
We are human beings.
To Kill A Mockingbird is fiction. It comes from the author’s mind. It may be influenced by a real event, but it is not real.
Watching the reaction to Lee’s book is amazing.
People are going through the stages of grief because their fictional hero has fallen.
Amazing.
I’ve heard that Harper Lee is ailing and in an assisted living facility. And that she didn’t authorize this publication.
Did she sell the rights to this book years ago, and now whoever owned the rights decided now was the time to publish it? How did this get published here and now, without the author’s consent?????
