Harper Lee （1926-2016）was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird，（published in 1960），which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature.The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
   For decades，the book was Lee's only major work of published fiction，but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers.It has sold more than 10 million copies，and is one of the most widely taught novels in the US schools.In 2007 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contributions to literature.
   Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her，and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared.The world，however，continued waiting for a new novel from her，and on occasion she suggested that she had a story in progress.
   In 2015，a book did come out.Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft，featuring Scout，the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird.Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult.Accusations（譴責(zé)）arose that the 89-year-old Lee was unable to agree to the manuscript's release，and that various parties had signed on her behalf.
   Though Lee moved to New York in 1949，she spent many years guarding her privacy（隱私）in Monroeville，which served as the clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
   In 2007，Lee suffered a stroke，but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister，Alice，who died in 2014.She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot，and was friendly with her neighbors.The countless Americans knew her only through her works，and they will undoubtedly miss her.
