One of my “lit chat” friends from the Bookshop recommended this after I said that I had been avoiding reading Go Set a Watchmen because I love To Kill a Mockingbird. The books feels like two books with the first half focused on the stranger-than-fiction story of the Reverend Willie Maxwell and the second half focused on the mystery of why Harper Lee never wrote anything after Mockingbird and how she followed the trial over the Reverend’s murder. It is well written and well researched and moves at a fast clip, but still leaves a lot to mystery because Lee was so private.
I think I feel better about the possibility of reading Watchmen after learning more about it here—I don’t think the Atticus character there is really Atticus, it’s a different character and a different portrait of a southern town. That being said, it still feels like an icky read given that the evidence suggests Lee didn’t want it published and was taken advantage of.
