Truman was born in 1924. He met Harper Lee when he moved to Alabama when he was 4 years old and she was 2 years old in 1928. When he turned 9 in 1933, he moved to New York City but coresponded continuously with Harper Lee back in Alabama.

15 years later, he published her novel Other Voices, Other Rooms per her wishes under his name as his first book.

Other Voices, Other Rooms was written from the perspective of someone living in Alabama who met Truman when he moved to and lived in Alabama.

Other Voices, Other Rooms was set in Alabama and included detailed scenes of Alabama.

Keep in mind that Harper Lee has always lived in Alabama and knows the state intimately, but that Truman only lived in Alabama from 4 years old until he was 9.

Now, is it more reasonable to assume that Harper Lee wrote Other Voices, Other Rooms, set in Alabama and about meeting Truman when he moved there...or that Truman, after living in fabulous New York City since he was 9, somehow wrote a detailed novel set in Alabama...a state that he hadn't seen in 15 years?!

Frankly, any serious study of Truman will reveal that Harper Lee wrote *everything* including Truman's first childhood essay competition paper.

Thanks, that’s the sort of thing I was looking for regarding proof that she wrote something else, vs. proving she didn’t write anything else. And perhaps she wrote many something elses, but that one in particular seems pretty certain.
