use these two visions of atticus for useful discussion. also, since the novels are set at different times, to kill a mockingbird is set in the depression, this is in the thick of the civil rights movement as it s gathering force, it could be useful in order to talk about people s resistance. but isn t it possible harper lee changed her mind? she wrote this first draft of go set a watchman request where atticus is a racist ander editor said try it again and she thought i m going to write a version of where atticus isn t a racist. you re believing the official story. i find this novel suspicious. it reads like a failed sequel. it doesn t read like a first draft of the novel we know and love. maureen corrigan, we re waiting to read it. thank you so much. thanks for breaking my heart, maureen, come back again. thanks so much for joining us
