Harper Lee wrote numerous short stories exploring themes that would later manifest in her iconic novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, yet struggled to have them published. Thought to be lost, her meticulous archiving proved otherwise when her executor discovered the typescripts after her death in 2016. This October, a new collection titled The Land of Sweet Forever will feature eight unreleased stories and pieces of nonfiction, providing deeper insights into Lee's writing journey, as shared by her family who are excited for a broader audience to engage with her work.
For years before she published To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee wrote short stories with themes that she would later explore in that now-classic novel.
This fall, those stories will be published for the first time in a collection titled The Land of Sweet Forever. The book, out on Oct. 21 from Harper, includes eight previously unreleased stories.
