Truman Capote is the real author of To Kill a Mockingird. . BTW, she never wrote anything else.
Everything the Liberals cherish is a lie.
How do you know that truman Capote wrote it??
To be fair though: if Truman Capote did indeed write it for Harper Lee, he clearly meant it to be hers. We should respect that.
Whoever wrote it, it is a great novel about childhood and a vanished world (with both evil and good in it).
I don’t know about the true authorship of the novel and don’t really care. Husband was doing research recently on a totally unrelated subject, and he came across a story about a black man in Arizona in the 1920s. The man was accused of a heinous crime and would become the first black man hanged by the state of Arizona. One of the lawyers in the case was a man named Mr. Atticus. The similarities between the cases were rather interesting. It just so happened that husband was reading To Kill a Mockingbird when he saw these news stories. (one of our children had to read it. book was put down on floor in bathroom. husband picked it up. lol) Anywho, husband was struck by the similarities but was busy with other things that he happened to be researching. I don’t know if he found the stories in Phoenix newspapers or what.

Proof of this claim, please? I’m googling your statement, but if you’d like to offer backup, it would be appreciated.
Baloney
However, she did base a character on him.
No way.... next you’ll be telling us Bill Ayers wrote Obama’s books.
One-hit-wonders abound all over the place, Woodward and Bernstein come immediately to mind -- this is no indication whatever that someone else must have written this particular.
Margaret Mitchell never published anything besides Gone with the Wind. There was a manuscript discovered after she died which was published. Maybe something else of Lee’s will surface later.
From Wikipedia...
For decades it was thought that Mitchell had only ever written one complete novel. (In fact, periodically claims are made that she never wrote it at all due to the lack of any other published work by her). But in the 1990s, a manuscript by Mitchell of a novel entitled Lost Laysen was discovered among a collection of letters Mitchell had given in the early 1920s to a suitor named Henry Love Angel. The manuscript had been written in two notebooks in 1916. In the 1990s, Angel’s son discovered the manuscript and sent it to the Road to Tara Museum, which authenticated the work. A special edition of Lost Laysen — a romance set in the South Pacific — was edited by Debra Freer, augmented with an account of Mitchell and Angel’s romance including a number of her letters to him, and published by the Scribner imprint of Simon & Schuster in 1996.
Nope. When the Smithsonian investigated that rumor, what it found was that Harper Lee had written Capote's work.
Dear ...Truman wrote not one line of her book....on the other hand, when she went with him to Kansas to get the material for his book, “In Cold Blood”...he was so spaced out on drugs that she took all the notes, etc. and I'm convinced, wrote a lot of his book....Shortly after they got back, her book was published......and subsequently, his “In Cold Blood”....and her’s won a Pulitzer Prize and he did not, and he was consumed with jealously, which was why he was too petty to give her any credits for her work on “cold blood”...not even a thank you at the front of the book....He was, after all, such a really screaming little queen....Actually, I never liked him very much...though for her sake, I wasn't vocal about it.....He was so petty, that when stupid rumors went out that he's at least partly written her book, he didn't publicly deny it....
