I dig Harper Lee. She is still alive and living in my general area. When I was in grad school a relative of mine got me her address and I sent her a letter along with a paper I wrote about her. She was known to sometimes write to students or critique you on your work if it involved her work. I never heard squat from her but my professor knew several people who exchanged letters with her.
She and Capote both led interesting lives. I always read anything I come across involving either one.
Good question.
