Harper lee (1926-2016) Born and died in Monroeville, Alabama. Only published two novels: To Kill a Mockingbird (1960) Go Set a Watchman (Published in 2015; written in 1950s as part of drafting process for To Kill a Mockingbird) Assisted with research for childhood friend Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood (1966) and then mostly disappeared from the public eye.
