Harper Lee is a big phony. TKAM was actually written by Truman Capote, who took pity on his feeble-minded cousin and wanted to provide her with an income for life.
Disagree with your analysis as Lee helped Truman write “In Cold Blood”.
Now what I have been thinking about is the possibility that ,if this new book is legitimate, is Truman helped write that one and may outlined the original character of Atticus Finch given the thinking and feelings of 1930’s Alabama.
That particular conspiracy theory has been proven wrong. There is at least one letter from Capote to an old Monroeville neighbor mentioning Lee was writing a book, and there is a great deal of correspondence between Lee and her editor at Lippencott discussing the book and the plot.

Do you have a reliable source for this?
