why the backlash? there has been a lot of shock. the backlash is because people associated with this character. some parents even named their children adicus after this character. and now we re seeing a different version of what harper lee was envisioning. an earlier vision. after revising and revising, the book became what we now know as to kill a mockingbird. so what we are seeing released all around the world is an earlier version, an earlier draft. and for literary types, it s going to be interesting to compare the earlier draft with the later draft. you mentioned this coming out this hour on the east coast of the u.s. i m seeing people on twitter lining up waiting to buy the first few copies. we re going to see it rolled out all around the world. it s already available in the u.k. and elsewhere. people are going to be devouring this book and debating this book and debating how it stands next
