The Guardian article makes it sound as though, in a sense, Lee might have wanted to publish her prequel as a way to feel less alone.
She might be famously reclusive, but perhaps losing her defender and confidante left her with the desire to reconnect with others. I've known other formerly reclusive authors who began posting on Facebook for similar reasons.
Clearly, Pynchon's hatred of being photographed outlived his desire for literary obscurity after Gravity's Rainbow (1973), as his next published novel Vineland (1990) and four others he's published since have proved.
