She maintained a relationship with one of her childhood friends, Truman "Tru" Persons, throughout her life, helping him research one of his most famous books, In Cold Blood, published under the name Truman Capote.This isn't the main book, and it's not meant to take its place. Much of the criticism centered around whether Lee ever wanted the book released to begin with, or if she had been manipulated into it by publishers.Īlthough Lee avoided the spotlight, she was famous for her associations as well as her work. The book - an earlier draft of the novel that made her so famous - was widely criticized for its portrayal of the main character, Atticus Finch, who was a small-town hero in Mockingbird, but in Watchman voices racist perspectives. Lee suffered a stroke in 2007, but recovered, eventually returning for good to her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama (which holds theatrical productions of To Kill a Mockingbird every year).Ī second book of Lee's, Go Set a Watchman, was published in 2015. The film adaptation of the novel, which came out two years after its publication, was also a major success. The book was an instant critical and commercial success after its publication, earned Lee a Pulitzer, and is widely regarded as a classic.

Nelle Harper Lee, the famously reclusive author of To Kill a Mockingbird, has died.
