"She's a lazy sod just writing 2 books. 
Didn't she write this one first , but it wasn't published . "
She did write this first. It was written in draft form (which is why I don't think I will bother reading it). Her editor did not like it and suggested she rewrite it using the flashbacks as the main story (hence To Kill A Mockingbird). |

I will read it. The thought of Atticus Finch being a racist doesn't sit well but then it begs the question of what happened to change him when she wrote To Kill A Mockingbird after To Set A Watchman? It must change how one reads To Kill A Mockingbird.

She did. That's my point.
The R4 Front Row discussion of the book made the interesting point that Atticus was always racist but he was also a lawyer with a commitment and belief in the law. He defended Tom Robinson because that is what the law requires.
They also discussed that there is a rumour of notes of a third novel. |
