Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee

2.0

I'm still glad I read this, but it's worth noting: while this was marketed as a "sequel" of sorts to To Kill a Mockingbird, it is actually a rough draft. I didn't know what while reading it.... but that puts a lot into context. A bit hard to follow in parts; disconnected. It presents a less idealistic view on race relations in the 1950s South, and given our world's history, I think it's worth noting that one well-meaning old white guy isn't going to solve it all. (Which is essentially how I recall TKaM being taught to me in school 30 years ago).
