This fall, Harper Lee's early essays and short stories will be published under the title The Land of Sweet Forever. The anthology features her short fiction written before the iconic To Kill a Mockingbird, along with essays created between 1961 and 2006. The book, set for release on October 21 by Harper, includes an introduction by biographer Casey Cep. Lee's family expressed their joy over the publication, remarking on the significance of the rediscovered stories and the importance of understanding her literary journey.
"As a member of Harper Lee's surviving family, I know I speak for all of us in saying that we're delighted that these essays, and especially the short stories, which we knew existed but were only recently discovered, have been found and are being published."
"She was not just our beloved aunt, but a great American writer, and we can never know too much about how she came to that pinnacle."
