The land of sweet forever : stories and essays [sound recording] / Harper Lee ; with an introduction by Casey Cep.

Lee, Harper, (author.). Cep, Casey N., (writer of introduction.). Burstyn, Ellen, 1932- (narrator.). Huber, Hillary, (narrator.).

Summary:

Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late '50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper Lee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine publication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote; and Lee who peppered the pages of McCall's and Vogue with thoughtful essays in the latter part of the twentieth century. The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee's early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee's youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.
