R.I.P. Harper lee
>>7715995
It is too bad that her senility was taken advantage of last year to publish a book she had no desire to see published. Big book publishers are money-grubbing trash.
should have died before go set a watchman T b h
She died literally 10 years ago. Do you even fact check , bro?
literary who?
Inb4 sticky
holy fuck rip
sticky when
Wow she was ugly
Why'd they choose such a good looking actress to play her in the movie Capote?
>>7715995
R.I.P Homer. He was doing so well.
>>7716037
>>7716030
why would we give a sticky to someone who is never talked about here
Damn. I know /lit/ doesn't really like TKAM but I rather do.
>>7716040
Had one for Terry Prachett
>>7716030
holy shit dubs
heh
rip in pieces mr lee

Holy shit, this is going to be a tidal wave
RIP
I don't care what you nerds say, I love To Kill a Mockingbirdeven if Capote wrote it
TKAM isn't even that good.
That lady who was taking care of Lee is probably celebrating so hard right now
"Naw, Jim, I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."

TKAM was the first English book I read in full
>>7715995
shell be fine
>>7716134
I feel like if I was foreign and TKAM was the first English book I read I would have a very warped view of American society
>>7716002
Yeah, that really saddened me. Go Set A Watchman should not have been published as a bookstore novel, and definitely should not have been published as a "sequel" to To Kill A Mockingbird. It should have been what Stephen Hero was to James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

Never read it. Sage.
>>7716169
Yes, that is just about the response I expected. Please don't reply to me unless you have something more substantive to say.
bye bye racist
>>7715995
Yeah, I never read her book but I was supposed to for school. Now I don't think I ever will. Oh well, RIP, I guess.
>>7715995
rest in peace.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

The horror....
>>7716208
>implying anyone cares about her resting in peace
>>7716211
She would have to lose a few pounds. She'd literally kill the man that suggests that to her.
>>7716208
boom
As a non native english speaker TKAM is one of the first books I read in english so RIP I guess
Any good writers left in the world?

RIP, Catcher in the Rye was a great book.
I thought Capote was already dead...
too bad she's a talentless hack
Who's next
Harper Lee was a woman? mind blown
She'll be fine
How do you get away with being called a novelist if you only write one book every sixty years?
>>7716277
hell be fine
>>7716244
Tom Wolfe
>>7716318
He asked if there were any good writers left
>>7716002
Luckily her last book was published in time.
>>7716310
>implying she ever wrote a book
>>7716325
Marlon James, Philip Roth.
>tfw McCarthy has shot his load
I'm actually reading TKaM right now foruni. seriously its a fucking high school book. any themes other than racism worth extrapolating?
>>7716244
Laszlo Krasznahorkai
>>7715995
Good.
Her book was TRaAAASH
>>7716331
>Implying someone else didn't write it for her
>>7716339
Hey man I could die happy if the only thing I ever published was something on the level of a Blood Meridian.
>>7716347
I think you missed the joke
>>7716351
No I think you missed the joke you il/lit/erate little fucking monkey. Some people have suggested that Truman Capote, a good friend of Harper Lee, actually wrote her book.
>>7716340
social perception
racism is at least secondary in that book. start over.
Good.
She was shit and I'm not even being contrarian.
>>7716366
Read the picture again.
>>7716366
No I think you missed the joke you blind retard, take a look at the image.

>>7716052
unlike Harper Lee, Terry Pratchett actually mattered

>>7716179
The Illuminati man, it was the illuminati!
One of the few books I bothered to read all the way in HS, RIP
>>7716208
Be free Harper Lee!
>>7716432
>Unlike Harper Lee, Terry Pratchett actually mattered
would Lee be disliked so much here is TKAM wasn't read in every US high school / /pol/ wasn't prevalent on every board?
What about a sticky?
She ruined Atticus, dumb talentless hack
The lawyer isn't really that good a role model. He gets a black man off of a rape charge mostly by attacking the alleged victim's character. He can't bring himself to hate a white man that wants to lynch that same black man, or indeed even Hitler. In the end he conspires with the sheriff to obstruct justice when a nice middle class white man kills a poor white man.
In this way he reflect the actual time and place, where people who could in some respects be seen as liberal and generous, like the governer at that time, weren't actually doing anything to achieve true equality (whether black/white, male/female, rich/poor) and when racial matters came to a head they got swept aside as the core issue was never dealt with from within and had a solution forced on them from outside.

>goes full autism when called out
>calls others embarrassing
my sides
/tv/ here. I never go to /lit/ but I figured I'd come here today when I heard about Harper Lee.
How the fuck is this not a sticky? We even had a sticky when the fat fuck from Fresh Prince died.
>>7716709
if lit was around when truman copate died im sure we wud have had a sticky
>>7716366
Where are you now?
>>7716684
>only one (You)
I am the first guy though. All I asked was a few names of the "hundreds" authors that have been passed over. Not sure why you have been so aggressive about all this.
>mfw Go Set a Watchman is literally /lit/'s Blackstar
>>7716742
>taking the bait
dude probably read 50 books in his entire life
>>7716167
I study TKAM in my English class and I've finished re-reading it literally 4 hours ago bro
>>7715995
Literally nobody outside of america cares
To Kill a Mockingbird was sjw trash.
/pol/ needs to leave
>>7716340
gender roles and Scout's resistance to them or some shit
>>7717008
>Wah~ /pol/ bogeyman
Literally even worse than /pol/
Shell be fine
>>7716372
Looking back I feel kinda guilty about posting this.She was still a shit writer though.
>>7716624
That's a meme I haven't heard in a while.
Please tell me this is a thread made after the sticky got too big and was eventually unsticked after several hours.
>>7716244
Umberto Eco
>>7716569
I don't know, I enjoy the book as well.
Her first person prose is great, and not as annoying as modern women author's usage of it. Many of the characters were memorable as well.
ITT: Teenagers happy they can finally discuss the only book they've actually read. Their discussions are naturally empty criticisms of the book to avenge the awful grade they received from their teacher on their essay, as if it was the book's/teacher's fault and not their own fault for not realizing that maybe browsing a literature board doesn't make one well read or qualified for literary criticism.
>Atticus, he was real nice
>Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them
Maybe people posting should take this advice.

on a narritological level it's worth attention for deconstructing how it works and it works as an archetype of the conventional novel

Twelfth rate Faulkner. Had the audacity to rip off one of his books - that is if she even wrote the damn thing at all. Meaningless garbage peddled by leftist curricula. A nonentity.
