“[Harper Lee] once explained to Oprah Winfrey, over lunch in a private suite at the Four Seasons, why she’d never appear on her show: Everyone compares her to Scout, the sweetly pugnacious tomboy who narrates Mockingbird. But as she told Oprah, ‘I’m really Boo’ — Boo Radley, the young recluse in the creepy house who winds up saving the day.”
