I must admit that I've never been a fan of Harper Lee's
To Kill a Mockingbird - not in high school, when I had to read its earnest social message, and not the movie version, featuring Gregory Peck's wooden performace. (And how that perforance won an Oscar, up against Albert Finney's in
Tom Jones, I'll never know.)
Gratifyingly, it turns out I'm not the only one.
