An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014.
Go Set a Watchman features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Returning home to Maycomb to visit her father, Jean Louise Finch—Scout—struggles with issues both personal and political, involving Atticus, society, and the small Alabama town that shaped her.
Exploring how the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird are adjusting to the turbulent events transforming mid-1950s America, Go Set a Watchman casts a fascinating new light on Harper Lee’s enduring classic. Moving, funny and compelling, it stands as a magnificent novel in its own right.
Harper Lee, known as Nelle, was born in the Alabama town of Monroeville, the youngest of four children of Amasa Coleman Lee and Frances Cunningham Finch Lee. Her father, a former newspaper editor and proprietor, was a lawyer who served on the state legislature from 1926 to 1938. As a child, Lee was a tomboy and a precocious reader, and enjoyed the friendship of her schoolmate and neighbor, the young Truman Capote.
After graduating from high school in Monroeville, Lee enrolled at the all-female Huntingdon College in Montgomery (1944-45), and then pursued a law degree at the University of Alabama (1945-50), pledging the Chi Omega sorority. While there, she wrote for several student publications and spent a year as editor of the campus humor magazine, "Ramma-Jamma". Though she did not complete the law degree, she studied for a summer in Oxford, England, before moving to New York in 1950, where she worked as a reservation clerk with Eastern Air Lines and BOAC.
Lee continued as a reservation clerk until the late 50s, when she devoted herself to writing. She lived a frugal life, traveling between her cold-water-only apartment in New York to her family home in Alabama to care for her father.
Having written several long stories, Harper Lee located an agent in November 1956. The following month at the East 50th townhouse of her friends Michael Brown and Joy Williams Brown, she received a gift of a year's wages with a note: "You have one year off from your job to write whatever you please. Merry Christmas."
Within a year, she had a first draft. Working with J. B. Lippincott & Co. editor Tay Hohoff, she completed To Kill a Mockingbird in the summer of 1959. Published July 11, 1960, the novel was an immediate bestseller and won great critical acclaim, including the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961. It remains a bestseller with more than 30 million copies in print. In 1999, it was voted "Best Novel of the Century" in a poll by the Library Journal.
没什么意思
评分真的不是很好看,最后的争论很精彩。
评分so go set a watchman means find your own consciousness? Psychological patricide?
评分Not what I was looking for. This is definitely not a sequel to "To Kill a Mockingbird". In fact, this book is by no means anywhere close to the awesomeness of "To Kill a Mockingbird".
评分"Everyman’s island, Jean Louise, every man’s watchman, is his conscience. There is no such things as a collective conscious." / "You never saw him as a man with a man’s heart, and a man’s failings - I’ll grant you it may have been hard to see, he makes so few mistakes, but he makes ‘em like all of us."

评分读To Kill a Mockingbird已经是很晚的事,阅读过程中传出了Harper Lee的新书Go Set a Watchman将于7月出版的消息。读完前者,几乎是数着日子等后者出版。恰巧那几个月几乎累吐了血,等到拿起新书,已经是9月份的事了。 根据出版介绍,Harper Lee先写了Watchman,编辑却被Scout...
评分读完《杀死一只知更鸟》,我紧接着找来《守望之心》,直到凌晨三点把整本读完才熄灯躺下(期间还见证了欧洲最后一次夏令时调整,所以多出了一个小时),因为不看到斯库特和父亲对峙和摊牌实在放不下。BTW,突如其来的杰姆的死讯实在让人心痛... 感觉第二本更让我思考自己和父亲...
