Guardian.co.uk has extensive coverage of the 50th Anniversary of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.
On The Huffington Post, there is an excerpt from Anna Quindlen's new book, Scout, Atticus and Boo:
It's still always about Scout to me because there really aren't that many of those girls. There were hardly any of those girls in our real life, and there aren't that many of them in books. So you store them up as a hedge against the attempts of the world to make you into something else.
Scout is totally real and totally imperfect, and she has the best two words in the book and two of the best words that have ever been put into any book by any writer: "Hey, Boo." There are moments in books that make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, and "Hey, Boo" is one of those moments.
