Boo, Kenneth. Tasteless, artless, and witless.

Blobby said...

and there it is. All those people who said she approved any of this. I don't believe she knows she signed her life away.

At the very least, your comment was not well thought out. You are better than cheap shots at what could be senile dementia

Unknown said...

Yeah, this is ... not funny.

Tom Collins said...

Commenters: Or you're too stupid to realize it's a commentary on her being exploited by her agent and publisher.

I laughed.

The exploitation of this woman is no new news. As much as This blog owner loves literature music and culture, he is not insulting, merely harpooning those who have stolen her greatest work and are foisting another on the public.

Kudos Kenneth for succinctly quoting Harper Lee on what we already all knew -- this book had no business seeing the light of day. To Kill A Mockingbird was perfect as it is. My hope is that the buzz will die down quickly and its release been seen for what it is -- a money grab. I doubt Ms. Lee's editor at Lippincott would have wanted this to be published.

I see a post that is offensive & I stop reading Kenneth's blog. Then I forget why and start reading it again. Then I see a post like this and remember.
Not funny.
Maybe one day when you have written one of the most loved, best selling novels of all time and win your Pulitzer prize you will see how many other much more creative ways you could have made your point without stooping to this level.

Really Larry seems smart.
