Land of Sweet Forever: Stories and Essays
Harper Lee
“Harper Lee’s wry humor is on ample display. . . . Each story illuminates Lee’s quintessential talents as the ‘balladeer of small-town culture’ and the chronicler of city life. . . . The Land of Sweet Forever reinforces Lee’s indelible voice, contributing a rewarding addition and resource to the slim canon of her literary legacy.” –Los Angeles Times
From one of America’s most beloved authors, a posthumous collection of newly discovered short stories and previously published essays, offering a fresh perspective on the remarkable literary mind of Harper Lee. This special compendium includes an introduction by Casey Cep—Lee’s appointed biographer—that provides illuminating background for our reading of these stories and connects them both to Lee’s life and to her two novels, To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman.
Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon—thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late-’50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper Lee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine publication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote; and the Lee who peppered the pages of McCall’s and Vogue with thoughtful essays in the latter part of the twentieth century.
The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee’s early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee’s youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.
