Harper Lee and the Presidential Medal of Freedom
2007-11-06 21:28:00 Harper Lee was just granted the Presidential Medal of Freedom for To Kill a Mockingbird. And what better a work to command such an honor? If you've ever read the book, and who hasn't, you know what an amazing work it is. It's so richly textured that you can read it again and again, further dissecting it and finding new aspects of it that contribute to the whole. The bird imagery, the use of light and dark to highlight the character of each of the players- they all add up to a masterpiece of observation and persuasion. There's just the one little thing...I really don't think she wrote it.Rumors have dogged To Kill a Mockingbird for decades, but here's what tipped me off: she came up with such a richly-textured work as her first novel, and never wrote another book. Say what, now? Someone with that ability couldn't come up with anything else? Apparently not. She also never talks about the book and never gives interviews. Adding to the questions is that fact that she lived next d...

2007-10-30 18:09:00 The White House announced today that author Harper Lee will be one of seven people receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House on November 5. Her Pulitzer Prize winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird (1960) and the film adaptation (1962) starring Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch had a great impact on me as both a reader and a writer. I'm was happy to see today's announcement. read more

HARPER LEE - "All things can be mended"
2007-10-25 09:44:00 Matinee Recordings - 2.004Keris Howard y Laura Bridge comenzaron con la intención de sacar un single y ya van tres trabajos. Como unos Trembling Blue Stars (de los que el primero es componente) con arreglos electrónicos y una tristeza crónica. Quizá lo que mejor les defina sea este extracto de Popchild en palabras del propio Keris Howard: "No quiero que penséis que soy una persona infeliz. Crecí escuchando canciones tristes y siempre tuve claro lo que buscaba principalmente de la música. No quise saber nada de la gente feliz, especialmente cuando yo me sentía desgraciado y solo. Quise el dolor y el sufrimiento - quise saber si alguien se encontraba en la misma situación que yo viví. Recuerdo escuchar a los Smiths y pensar por fin que alguien lo entiende. Y esto es fantástico"."Entonces adivine que eso era todo lo que quería hacer con Harper Lee. Compartir mis días malos y mis momentos más tristes; tal vez con alguien que no se sintiera tan solo". - Keris Howard - . "Isn't this whe...

Harper Lee - To Kill a Mockingbird
2006-12-14 09:22:01 From Oprah’s Favorite Book Gallery To Kill a Mockingbird: The 40th Anniversary Edition of the Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel by Harper Lee “Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” A lawyer’s advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee’s classic novel–a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man’s struggle for justice–but the weight of history will only tolerate so much. One of the best-loved classics of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many distinctions since its original publication in 1960. It has won ...
