“No, he doesn’t. That story has been around forever and was proven false long ago.”

Says you. Can you quote sources for your “proof”?

There were the two items I quoted in my post and which were outlined in "Critical Insights: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee" by Don Nobel. In "Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee" Charles A Shields gives a lot of details of the working relationship between Lee and her editor at Lippencott, Tay Hohoff. The two worked together on the editing and corrections of the book, something that would have been impossible if Capote was the ghost writer, and developed a friendship that lasted till Hohoff died. Finally there is the fact that the style of writing of "To Kill A Mockingbird" is so different from anything Capote wrote, as legions of English majors have determined.

Now, whaddya got to show Lee didn't write it?
