Harper Lee Gives Best Response Ever To Snooping Reporter

Amazing and notoriously reclusive To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee has zero problems telling overly
persistent (read: borderline stalker) journalists what to do. After Alabama journalist Connor Sheets multiple attempts to reach the author both through her lawyer and publisher as well as
with an unwelcome in-person visit to her Monroeville nursing home were denied,
he turned to good old-fashioned snail mail and sent the icon a two-page letter.
Which she summarily rejected in trademark succinct prose: “Go away!”

Sheets wanted to question the octogenarian about her state of
mind following now-defunct rumors that she "is mentally infirm" and was pressured into releasing her much-anticipated (to say the least) second
book, Go Set A Watchman. (Let the countdown begin! HarperCollins is releasing the novel, which focuses on To Kill A Mockingbird's irrepressible Scout as an adult woman, on July 14th, and it's already number one on Amazon.)
