![]() ![]() I considered not reading it, but eventually decided to buy myself a copy (since I was #356 on the library waiting list by the time I got around to requesting it, and that was still well in advance of the publication date).Įvery reader must decide for herself how to approach this book. In spite of its suspicious origins, the book was published last Tuesday, and readers must now decide if they will read it at all, and if so, how to approach it. ![]() Others compare Watchman to Lee’s character Boo Radley: it’s cruel to drag this manuscript into the light it’s not meant for the public’s eyes. It’s also being called too good to be true: rumors are flying that the timing of this release is too uncanny to be believed, and Watchman was fabricated for commercial gain. Watchman is being called a rough draft of Mockingbird, its sequel, or something in between. ![]() The state of Alabama actually launched an elder care investigation into the events surrounding its publication, and while it found no evidence of mistreatment, the doubts linger. Lee’s intentions about it unclear ( if you’re feeling charitable towards its publishers). If you’re feeling uneasy about Harper Lee’s newly released novel Go Set a Watchman, you’re in good company. ![]() Note: this isn’t a review there are plenty of those to be found and this blogger doesn’t have one in her. ![]()
