Reading about this book and its author I discovered Truman Capote and I
added – In Cold Blood to my wish list. I read To Kill Mockingbird in the summer
at the seaside, during a work thing I had last year. It is not quite the holiday
book you take with you hoping for a light reading J but I
loved the book and I would recommend it to anyone. It won the Pulitzer Prize in
1961 so it fits right in my Pulitzer Project. It deals with racism related
events seen though a young girls’ eyes, in America in the 1920ies. It is Harper Lee’s only book and it won many
awards, but I think that the biggest reward is that it is so up-to-date now, many
years after it was first published. I will find time to see the movie also, but
I know it cannot compare with the book. Movies
never do
“Out of the cradle endlessly rocking,/
Out of the mocking-bird’s throat,
the musical shuttle,……./
A reminiscence sing” – Walt Whitman
