Nothing blew my mind in the last few years like discovering how close Harper Lee and Truman Capote were, as they were both authors I idolized at different stages of my life.

And that Dill was partially based on her childhod friendship with Capote.

This seems to be well established now in pop culture and art, but I was completely unaware when I first heard.

The fact the world has such inspired people, despite their stressful surroundings was a blessing to us all in the form of great art.

Goodbye, Harper.
