哈珀•李(1926— )
生於美國阿拉巴馬州, 曾被授予普利策小說奬及其他眾多文學奬項。她與杜魯門•卡坡蒂是幼年的鄰居和一生的朋友。《殺死一隻知更鳥》據說是以卡坡蒂為原型之一創作的,現已成為公認的美國文學經典。此後,她一直隱居在傢鄉亞拉巴馬的小鎮上 ,拒絕各種采訪,過著平靜的生活。有人問她為什麼不在盛名之下接著寫作,她迴答:“有過這樣一次,還有什麼可寫的?”
Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition. (20030909)

偉大的小說,通過孩子的視角展示瞭世界的殘酷和溫暖。Just brilliant!
評分A day was 24 hours long but seemed longer.
評分真的很好看 斷斷續續看瞭有兩個月纔看完 還是很不習慣看英文書… 書中關於平等自由的討論真的時不時的感嘆,還有傢庭生活特彆細膩,對人物的刻畫也很立體,溫暖中還有一點點懸疑的感覺,但是終歸是迴歸到結結實實的生活中去。
評分每次重讀 TKAM 都心情復雜的發現,關於善良正義的定義和底綫又變瞭那麼一點點。成年生日那天,老爸給我的祝福是:善良正義自由獨立。善良是自守,正義是抗衡。既然必須麵對世界,他們比自由獨立還重要。
