This was interesting! I don't really have strong feelings about Lee or To Kill a Mockingbird but I found her life and the circumstances of her writing to be interesting. I like how the author points out how lee is thought to be this big voice of civil rights but TKaM sidesteps the questions of the 1950s/1960s of when Lee was writing to set the book in the 1930s, centers whiteness and white feelings in the novel, and then never speaks out in any way re: civil rights or discrimination.
