The birthday of a delicious mystery.

In a world where almost everyone else seems to be courting celebrity, it might be hard to understand why Harper Lee--having had her say--now mostly just wants to be left alone.

Wendy Bilen has a wonderful piece about this, so I'm happy to direct you over to storySouth for her article, Hiding Harper Lee.

And for my part, I'm just here to say, "Happy Birthday, Miss Lee. And even though I hear tell that you don't like folks bringing it up--thanks again for the great read."
