About Books About Harper Lee

Presented by OLLI of Greater Birmingham and Vestavia Hills Library in the Forest at Vestavia Hills Library in the Forest

OLLI of Greater Birmingham presents About Books About Harper Lee with instructor Ralph Voss, retired Professor of English, University of Alabama.  Alabama’s Nelle Harper Lee is arguably the state’s best-known writer, even though she published only two books in her lifetime: To Kill A Mockingbird and Go Set A Watchman.  Her fame was ironically enhanced by her shunning of attention.  Three books about her life have already been published: Charles J. Shields’ unauthorized biography, Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee (2006); Marja Mills’ The Mockingbird Next Door: Life with Harper Lee (2014); and Wayne Flynt’s Mockingbird Songs: My Friendship with Harper Lee (2017).  This program offers a close look at the three books and what can be inferred about their status as revelations about the reclusive and always fascinating Lee, who died in 2016.
