The world has been mourning the passing of Harper Lee. President Barack Obama (pictured, via) wrote a post on Facebook to praise the To Kill a Mockingbird author.
Here’s an excerpt from Obama’s post: “Ms. Lee changed America for the better. And there is no higher tribute we can offer her than to keep telling this timeless American story – to our students, to our neighbors, and to our children – and to constantly try, in our own lives, to finally see each other.”
Many members of the publishing industry have also spoken out in remembrance of Lee including HarperCollins publisher Michael Morrison, literary agent Andrew Nurnberg, and Amazon Books editorial director Sara Nelson. Do you have a favorite quote from To Kill a Mockingbird or Go Set a Watchman?
Harper Lee has become the subject of many debates since the announcement of her forthcoming To Kill a Mockingbird sequel. Many wonder if Lee had actually given her consent for the publication of Go Set a Watchman.
According to AL.com, the Alabama Securities Commission and the state’s human resources department have initiated an investigation to examine whether or not elder abuse has taken place. This inquiry was launched because a number of conflicting reports have surfaced about the 88 year old author’s current state of mental health.
Here’s more from The New York Times: “Through a HarperCollins spokeswoman, Mr. [Michael] Morrison said the company was aware of the state’s inquiry but had not been contacted by investigators. Andrew Nurnberg, the agent handling international rights for Watchman, has brushed off reports that Ms. Lee is somehow being taken advantage of as ‘nonsense.'”
Cal Morgan has been named senior vice president and publisher of HarperCollins’ It Books imprint.
