I recently heard that many people believe Truman Capote actually wrote To Kill a Mockingbird. Of course it is common knowledge that Dill was based on Capote. But supposedly Capote wrote it and gave it to Harper Lee, who never published anything again because she couldn't possibly match it. I guess studies have been done comparing his writing style in his other work with that of Mockingbird that backs this theory up.

Has anyone else heard this? Anyone have a site debunking, supporting or further exploring?

Capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of the novel, and at least one person, Pearl Kazin Bell, an editor at Harper's who cited Lee's failure to produce another novel, has gone on record supporting his co-authorship.

I knew that from my California BarBri class in January this year. The instructor laughed and said this provision never comes up. Surprised I passed with his apparent lack of market knowledge of chastity. I'm so proud of my knowledge I could cry.

Has the Fringester mentioned anything here about whether she is buying me drinks for my birthday bash tonight?

I will be buying you drinks for your Big Birthday Bash tonight. Assuming someone tells me when you will be there.

I use LA in the broadest sense, to include all of LA county and any counties that border LA county.

I don't buy it. JD Salinger only wrote 1 novel. and it says Lee wrote short stories. Truman was petty and jealous. I bet he couldn't stand to see her sucessful.

Until recently, most of the board was wondering if you had a dick.

I have one, you know. He's actually quite a nice guy.

All that was true every time he and I argued on PB, and it doesn't change the fact he was wrong every time there.
