Harper Lee passes

A Southern literary giant, Nelle Harper Lee, has died at the age of 89. She won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1961 for her book, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and helped her childhood friend Truman Capote to do the research for his award-winning book, “In Cold Blood.”

Last summer when her “Go Set a Watchman” was released, Inweekly sent Scott Satterwhite to her hometown, Monroeville, Ala. His story, “Daycation to Monroeville, the Literary Capital of Alabama” was one of the top cover stories of 2015.
