After finding this bbc article on it, I’m now even more eager to get my hands on a copy of Go Set a Watchman. As I said a couple of days ago, I’ve love To Kill a Mockingbird since school, but according to this article, Lee’s new novel recasts Atticus as some kind of bigot. Like many, I’ve aways sen Atticus as an emblem of liberal tolerance and reason, so this news comes as a shock. Mind you, as the article stresses, Lee’s new book should be seen as an early version of TKAM, rather tan a prequel or sequel, in which case I’d be fascinated to see how the two compare. I just hope I’m not heartbroken to find Atticus is not who we thought he was.
