July will mark the ten-year anniversary of the publication of Go Set a Watchman, Harper Lee’s long-lost first novel that also functions as a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird — the Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller that was adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring Gregory Peck and, well, you know. Readers have been ambivalent about Watchman. In terms of style, the novel has been deemed a far lesser achievement than its predecessor. Many have struggled with the fact that Atticus, the moral locus of Mockingbird who vigorously though unsuccessfully defends an innocent Black man against charges of rape, is revealed to harbor racist views in his old age.
