Lee Harper
(Alabama, USA, 1926 - 2016). American writer. In 1931, a racist conflict in the nearby town of Scottsboro shocked American society. Lee, an indirect witness to the events, was inspired by this incident to write her first and only novel known until 2015, To Kill a Mockingbird, now a literary classic. A personal friend of Truman Capote, Lee decided to retire from the public eye when she gained fame. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. In 2015, the novel Go Set a Watchman was rediscovered, initially rejected by her publishers and one of its subplots is what led to To Kill a Mockingbird.
