> Didn’t Harper Lee recently pass away?>Harper Lee’s older sister, who was the author’s lawyer and protector of her copyright, died recently. Soon thereafter, another lawyer in that same firm took over that responsibility, and the manuscript for “Set a Watchman” (the original version of the novel that after a year of editing and re-writing became “To Kill a Mockingbird”) somehow turned up, and it is now set to be published all these years after it had been rejected for publication in its original form. Harper Lee herself is infirm in a nursing home, apparently totally blind and nearly totally deaf. Allegedly she signs pretty much anything her lawyer gives her, as she did when her sister had that job.

@OldCoal -
Agreed: one way or another this will appear. I just heard that some new Dr. Seuss books will be published. The Barnes collection in Philadelphia has found sketches by Cezanne on the backs of some of his paintings that they own, and now both sides will be displayed, privileging the painter’s frugality over his artistic sense.
If you’re an artist with the good fortune to have great success, I think you just have to burn anything you don’t want the world to see after you die (or become infirm).
As a wise, naked superhuman once said: “‘In the end?’ Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.”
