Mockingbird Author Sues: Harper Lee Files Lawsuit Against Literary Agent (Video)
Harper Lee, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "To Kill a Mockingbird" has sued her literary agent, claiming he tricked her into assigning the copyright on her book to him, Reuters reported. The lawsuit was filed in federal court against Samuel Pinkus, the son-in-law of Lee's long-term agent, Eugene Winick, who had represented her for more than 40 years. In 2002, Winick became ill, and Pinkus diverted several of his clients to his own company.
