This “novel†is making me so incredibly mad. 😡
As a writer, it is fascinating to see the work that Harper Lee and Tay Hohoff, Lee‘s editor, put in to mold an American classic into existence. But to market this as anything more than an unedited first draft of “To Kill A Mockingbird†is disingenuous at best.
Apart from the academic, there is no literary value to publishing “Watchmanâ€. It was an obvious cash grab, and a stain upon Lee‘s legacy.
