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.

评分真的不是很好看,最后的争论很精彩。
评分一开始堵得很爽很顺畅,后来涉及美国南部黑人和种族歧视问题,女主的反应很激烈,关于爱情亲情和敬畏。想读一下《杀死一只知更鸟》了,因为同一个作者而且听说本书是《杀》的一个小部分,那么大结构是怎样的呢?

评分(刊于《文艺报》2017年5月10日) 文/俞耕耘 美国女作家哈珀·李,凭借《杀死一只知更鸟》创造了多米诺式的传奇:先是获得普利策奖的荣光,后是改编为电影,摘得三项奥斯卡奖的桂冠。这样两个华丽转身,成就了一部美国当代文学的正典。同时,她又是个急流勇退者,一个离群索居...
评分《杀死一只知更鸟》出版后的五十多年间作家一直拒绝各种采访和社会活动,并宣称不会再写第二本书。2015年,《守望之心》出版,一时轰动。 据说本书源自作者早年的手稿,李本人以为这份手稿早已遗失。《守望之心》的创作年代早于《杀死一只知更鸟》,讲述的是斯库特成年以后回到...
评分我的观点可能有点不同。阿迪克斯公平善良风度幽默依旧,他的立场是“在黑人文化各方面落后的铁定事实下,赐予他们不需要努力不需要能力就白得的和白人平等的权利,让不懂政治的人聚团投票成为政治舞台的主角,这是不负责任的公正”。小说说到他跌落神坛,实则只是跌落了斯库特...
