"

I-Shields ilifumene eli nqaku ngelixa yayijonga i-biography yakhe eyayithengisa kakhulu ngo-2006, "Mockingbird: Portrait of Harper Lee." Uthe ukhangela nayiphi na imikhondo ekusenokwenzeka ukuba wayiphosa ngaphambili. Waqala ngokufunda amaphephandaba e-Kansas kwaye, kwi-City City Telegraph, waqala ngokufunda ikholamu nguDolores Hope, owayesazi ukuba ngumhlobo kaHarper Lee.

“U-Nelle Harper Lee, umbhali oselula ofike eGarden City kunye noTruman Capote bezokuqokelela izinto eziza kubhalwa ngenqaku laseNew Yorker kwityala likaClutter, ubhale eli nqaku. Ukupapashwa kwenoveli yokuqala kaMiss Harper kucwangciselwe le ntwasahlobo kwaye iitreyila zithi ziyimpumelelo. "

UDolores Ithemba wayechanekileyo kwaye uHarper Lee waba ngomnye wababhali abahlonitshwayo eMelika ngencwadi yakhe ethi "Ukubulala iMockingbird", ibali malunga nobuhlanga nokungabikho kokusesikweni okusekwe emazantsi eMelika ngeminyaka yo 1930. Xa wayecinga ukuba azizukuphinda zive iindaba ngaye, emva kweminyaka engama 20 umbhali wabuya naye esithi "Go and beka umthumeli, "inoveli ebonisa abalinganiswa abasuka kwinoveli yakhe yokuqala.

"Ndixelelwe ukuba bekukho amarhe eofisini iminyaka yokuba uHarper Lee angenise into, kodwa khange sikwazi ukubona nto egameni lakhe."

Ukusukela kumhla wekholamu iThemba epapashiweyo, ngoFebruwari 1930, ucebise ngokujonga imiba kaFebruwari okanye Matshi kwakuloo nyaka.

"Uyabona ke, inqaku elibhalwe kakuhle kakhulu kwityala likaClutter lapapashwa ngo-Matshi 1960."

Ethetha ngesizathu sokuba angakhankanywanga kwinqaku, uphendule wathi kungenxa yokuba kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo kuye ukuba angaphazamisi abaphulaphuli bomhlobo wakhe UTruman.

Obunye ubungqina bokubhala kwakhe kukuba u-eInqaku linenkcukacha apho kuphela yena noTruman babesazi, into efunyenwe nguShield.
