just read about these unpublished tales from Harper Lee and I'm low-key obsessed! I mean, can you imagine what it would be like to have those 8 stories published after all these years? It's crazy to think that they were written during the decade leading up to "To Kill a Mockingbird" - talk about growth as a writer! The fact that she explores themes of identity and social justice is just on point. And can we talk about how lucky she was to have those amazing friends who supported her? $100/month for a year? That's like, my dream writing stipend! I'm definitely adding these stories to my reading list ASAP - thanks for the scoop!
I'm so stoked that they found more stuff about Harper Lee . I mean, who doesn't love 'To Kill a Mockingbird'? It's like, her writing just gets better and better, you know? I loved how she wrote these short stories in New York City - it must've been super inspiring for her! And yeah, the friendships with Michael and Joy Brown were awesome. 100 bucks a month is crazy generous , can you even imagine having that kind of freedom to write whatever you want? It's cool that people are finally seeing more of Lee's early work, though - I think it's gonna be really interesting to read these stories. Did she have any other pets besides Scout and Jem from 'To Kill a Mockingbird'?
omg i'm so stoked about this new discovery, it's like we're getting a behind-the-scenes look at harper lee's life and writing process she was already such an amazing writer even back then, and to see her grow from a beginner to a master storyteller is just inspiring these unpublished stories are giving me all the feels, especially "the land of sweet forever" which sounds like it has some major connections to her later novel go set a watchman
