Thank you Kerry, for the wonderful start to our conversation! It seems that the old-fashioned method of people-to-people networking was more beneficial that an internet search on your subject.
While it's clear that you were able to have some rewarding conversations with particular individuals, I'm curious about the overall atmosphere in Monroeville. Were residents used to visitors? With a place like the Mockingbird Cafe, was the town laden with literary spin-offs? What do you think made people open (or closed) to conversation about your book?
I look forward to hearing more about your research journey, as well as hearing other thoughts and questions from the CCBC-Net community.
