Nelle Harper Lee was an American narrator best known for her 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird (April 28, 1926 – February 19, 2016). It received the Pulitzer Prize in 1961, and has become a classic of American modern literature. Lee has only written two novels, but in 2007 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her literary contributions. She also received several honorary degrees but on those occasions she declined to comment. Her close friend Truman Capote was helped in her work for the book In Cold Blood (1966). The character Dill in To Kill a Mockingbird was based on Capote. To Kill a Mockingbird's plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's impressions of her family and friends, as well as an incident that occurred near her hometown when she was 10 in 1936. The novel deals with the irrationality of race and class attitudes among adults in the Deep South of the 1930s, as illustrated through two children's eyes. It was influenced by racial attitudes in Monroeville, Alabama, its birthplace. In the mid-1950s, she also wrote the novel Go Set a Watchman and released it as a sequel to Mockingbird in July 2015, but it was later reported to be merely her first draft of Mockingbird

So many writers don’t like to write… I like to write, and sometimes I’m afraid I like it too much, because when I get into work, I don’t want to leave it. And as a result, I’ll go for days and days and days without leaving my house.

Harper Lee

It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.
