Amazing and moving clip on tonight’s TV News of Harper Lee getting an honorary degree, when every student in the hall holds up a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird. 2,000 of them!

I’m so glad Harper Lee saw how much she affected people. A wonderful clip, Ed. Thank you.
I was disappointed by last night’s ‘Newsnight’, which featured Lionel Shriver (of We Need to Talk About Kevin fame) downplaying the significance of Mockingbird. An interesting and arguable piece of literary criticism, no doubt, but surely not to be broadcast on the same day that Harper Lee died. Badly done, BBC.
