The unimaginable in the world of fiction happened last month. After 55 years of nearly total silence, Harper Lee, the country’s most well-known one-book author, published a so-called long “lost” novel supposedly written before her classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. This is a tectonic shift in the literary world and beyond, considering that Mockingbird is one of most beloved American novels and the new book challenges its ethos.
Should we all rush out to buy Go Set a Watchman?
Absolutely not.
