Harper Lee is the ultimate proof that you only have to write one novel. Granted, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is an American classic that nearly every schoolchild has read (and then re-read as an adult.) Why did she never write again? Lee has been reclusive for decades and doesn't grant interviews. Her friend, Thomas Butts, told an Australian newspaper in 2011 that the reason was two-fold: "One, I wouldn't go through the pressure and publicity I went through with 'To Kill a Mockingbird' for any amount of money. Second, I have said what I wanted to say and I will not say it again."
