Скачать или смотреть HARPER LEE: THE GREATEST ONE-HIT WONDER IN LITERARY HISTORY?

In 1960, Harper Lee published To Kill a Mockingbird and became one of the most celebrated authors in American history. Then she did something almost unthinkable: she stopped writing. For 55 years, she refused interviews, avoided the spotlight, and never published another book despite earning over $100 million and winning the Pulitzer Prize.

This is the untold story of the woman behind one of America's most important novels. From her childhood friendship with Truman Capote, to her father's failed defense of a Black man that inspired Atticus Finch, to her controversial help on "In Cold Blood" that ended their friendship forever.
Why did Harper Lee disappear? Was it the pressure of living up to perfection? The betrayal by her best friend? Or did she simply say everything she needed to say in 300 pages?
