Harper Lee, the nearly-reclusive author of To Kill A Mockingbird, has sued a literary agent over the handling of the copyright to her classic of American literature.Miss Lee filed suit in Federal District Court in New York asserting that Samuel Pinkus, the son-in-law of Lee's longtime agent, Eugene Winick, failed to properly protect the copyright after her long-time agent became ill. The lawsuit claims that Pinkus took advantage of Miss Lee's poor eyesight and hearing and had her assign the copyright to a company controlled by Pinkus.
One can only hope that Miss Lee finds her own real-life Atticus Finch to protect her interest in her only published novel.
