{"product_id":"lee-harper-the-land-of-sweet-forever","title":"Lee, Harper - The Land Of Sweet Forever","description":"From one of America’s most beloved authors, a\nposthumous collection of newly discovered short\nstories and previously published essays and\nmagazine pieces, offering a fresh perspective on the\nremarkable literary mind of Harper Lee.\n\nHarper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon – thanks to Scout,\nJem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To\nKill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late-’50s version of small-town\nAlabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, her only other novel, published\nin 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper\nLee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine\npublication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote;\nand the Lee who peppered the pages of McCall’s and Vogue with thoughtful\nessays in the latter part of the twentieth century.\nThe Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee’s early short fiction and later\nnonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her\ninimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee’s youth\nto the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of\nSweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love,\nfiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and\ncreative life.\nThis collection comes with an introduction by Casey Cep, Harper Lee’s\nappointed biographer, which provides illuminating background for our reading of\nthese stories and connects them both to Lee’s life and to her two novels.","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Book","offer_id":50156458049814,"sku":"RMX-42780","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/2a97067d79d0aa39109f33859e6ba4c0.jpg?v=1750882552","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/lee-harper-the-land-of-sweet-forever","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
