I like #4. As I read GSAW, I couldn’t help thinking, “Where have I read this before?” Then it hit me…PEYTON PLACE. It seems Ms. Lee spun her tale from Grace Metalious’ book, and turned the scandal from sex to racism. Did Harper Lee move to NYC to become a writer? Did she just try to write a book because her friend, Truman Capote, had become a successful writer? What role did Capote play in GSAW being read and considered for a rewrite by a publisher? These are questions I want answers to, but probably will never get.
