Un classico che non avevo ancora letto e che mi sta incantando: Il buio oltre la siepe di Harper Lee. Una di quelle letture che ti fanno rivalutare tanti libri letti di recente, ben scritti e interessanti… però poi ci sono i capolavori.

THEATRE REVIEW: "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" - THE KENNEDY CENTER
Aaron Sorkin's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is not Harper Lee's, but it is a lesson learned.

Today in Writing History July 11, 1960: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee was first published in the United States. This is one of my favorite books and it has been an inspiration for my own writing, particularly since it is written in a close 3rd person by a youth, Scout Finch, as is my first book, “Anywhere But Schuylkill.”

I took "Scout" from "#ToKillAMockingbird on vacation to #Florida and she thought she was back in 1934.

MOVIE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible.”
Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird

Last night, I went to see the magnificent adaption of Harper Lee’s #ToKillAMockingbird at the Gielgud Theatre. It’s terrifying to think of the #racism that existed in the Deep South in the 1930s, and how non-white people, among others, were treated back then.
Unfortunately, it’s a fallacy to think that this kind of racism has disappeared in the 21st century. Indeed, as the murder of George Floyd proved, this vile kind of discrimination often bubbles back to the surface, and we need to end it.

At the heart of #ToKillAMockingbird is the desire for connections that proper white society deems transgressive and taboo. #TCMParty
Ewell tried to give Jem the same of injury that Tom Robinson had. #ToKillAMockingbird #TCMParty
The thing that pisses off bullies the most is when you don’t respond to them. #ToKillAMockingbird #TCMParty
I disagree with Maudie, profoundly. What Atticus a finch does in #ToKillAMockingbird is unpleasant job only to the white people who don’t want to be reminded that they don’t do squat about racial injustice. #TCMParty
And, of course, it makes it all the more damning that, after Atticus bluntly tells the jury, “Only idiots would convict Tom Robinson” they gladly go and do it anyway, thus proving they are racist fools. #ToKillAMockingbird #TCMParty
I always seem to forget how honest and blunt are Atticus’s closing arguments in #ToKillAMockingbird. The rest of the movie dances around the subjects his arguments attack head on. #TCMParty
I really like that in #ToKillAMockingbird the African American characters are brave, dignified, and articulate, and many of the white characters are either ignorant, ill-mannered, ungrammatical, drunken incest rapists OR people preferring the latter to the former. #TCMParty
The spiritual descendants of the villain Ewell again hold power in large swaths of this country, and are actively stoking prejudice and fear with the power of their offices. #ToKillAMockingbird #TCMParty
My favorite part of #ToKillAMockingbird is Jem unselfconsciously going upstairs to sit with the Black folks. It speaks of both a lack of prejudice and a bit of privilege on his part. #TCMParty
