The Trump Taj Mahal Was Harper Lee's Idea of Hell on Earth

A number of letters written by Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, will go up for auction on Wednesday. In one, written just a few months after its April 1990 inauguration, she offers a few choice words on Donald Trump’s $1 billion Atlantic City casino, the Trump Taj Mahal.

“The worst punishment God can devise for this sinner is to make her spirit reside eternally at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City,” she wrote to her friend, Doris Leapard in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Yow! Apparently, Lee had been hosting visitors at the casino, now owned by Carl Icahn.

Bidding on the letters—there are 29—started at $750. The Trump letter is already at $1,330.
