>Harper Lee, the reclusive author of the beloved best-selling novel “To Kill a Mockingbird,” will publish a second novel in July, her publisher announced Tuesday.

>The recently discovered book, “Go Set a Watchman,” was completed in the mid-1950s, in the midst of the civil rights movement. It takes place 20 years after “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Though it’s effectively a sequel, Ms. Lee actually wrote “Go Set a Watchman” first. The 304-page novel takes place in the same fictional town, Maycomb, Ala., and unfolds as Scout Finch, the feisty child heroine of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” returns to visit her father, Atticus.

>Ms. Lee said in a statement released by her publisher that her editor at the time was taken with Scout’s childhood flashbacks, and told her to write a different novel from Scout’s perspective.

>“I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told,” Ms. Lee, 88, a native of Monroeville, Ala., said in the statement.

>A new excerpt from the book, courtesy of HuffPo.

(1/2)

"Daddy, I'm home from New York City, bastion of equality, with a college education and a new attitude on race."

Looking up from his newspaper, Atticus said, "Now, Scout, I may defend a negro in court from time to time but only if I don't have to see them much. Segregation suits us Southerners just fine."

"No, daddy, there's a new way of doing things," said Scout, shaking her head. "Those Yankees have it all figured out. You see, in the North, they aren't racist anymore! They invented these things called ghettos."

"Ghettos? Why, I was just reading about those in this here newspaper!" exclaimed Atticus.

Scout closed her eyes and nodded. "Ghettos are places where blacks aren't legally forced to live, but they wind up there anyway thanks to jobs, housing costs, and discrimination in white neighborhoods."

"The government doesn't have to enforce racist policies and look bad?" asked Atticus, clearly interested, as he shifted forward in his seat.

"No, daddy, that's the point! The Northerners have the moral highground when talking about Southerners and they still don't have to look at black people. It's wonderful! There is an amazing place in New York City called Harlem. All of the blacks live there. They beat one another, shoot one another, drink, use drugs, join gangs, and the cops don't even have to come around! The children go to third-rate schools and that's okay because it's based on taxes, not a concerted effort of the government. The blacks don't have a chance. Don't even get me started on these new 'public housing projects.' The government wants to use this post-WW2 boom to construct housing for the poor on the pretense of charity, even though the money won't last forever and they will really serve and a means of consolidating blacks and moving them off of prime real estate that can be used for economic development!"

"Scout, I must say..." Atticus covered his face with his hand. Tear drops fell and stained his wool pants.

>> No.6092718

>>6092709

(2/2)

Scout walked over to Atticus and started to rub his back with her right hand.

"Daddy, are you okay? Don't feel so bad about being a racist inbred piece of white trash. I'm not judging you with my Northern liberal education. You don't know any better."

"No, my beautiful daughter, it's not that. This new way of doing things sounds so wonderful. I think we should both make it out life's mission to end segregation and institute ghettos. We can start with St. Louis!" Atticus stood up from his chair and looked out the window as he imagined a new life for Southerners, free of guilt but fearful of home invasions.

"Oh, daddy, I am so glad you understand!" Scout embraced her father around the neck and kissed his cheek. "I have someone to introduce you to."

The screen door swung open and in walked a rodent-like creature. Its skin was an opaque yellow, a large nose rose like a mountain between two small shiny black eyes, and two curly locks of hair fell messily along either side of its face. It wore a large flat brimmed hat and a black cloak crudely covered its twisted and misshapen body. It stuck out its clawed hand.

"Feivel Kuntsler, attorney-at-law, at your service. For a price, of course, but you're mishpocheh now so I'll give you a discount."

"Daddy, this is my new husband. He's a real mentsh. We already have all the plans drawn up and I already called all of the local ministers. We march tomorrow!"

"Feh!" spit Feivel. "We'll show those racist shmendriks the error of their ways, especially concerning Antisemitism!"

"Darn right!" giggled Scout. She looked at her watch. "Oh! Look at the time! We really must get going across the tracks."

"Why?" asked Atticus.

"Feivel made an arrangement with a local black bull. He's going to fill me up with nine inches of black pipe! I need a good breeding."

"The blacks know how to pleasure women!" exclaimed Feivel. "I don't care much for intercourse myself. I prefer the company of Presidents." He pulled a wad of bills out of his pocket, held them up to his nose, and took a deep breath. Feivel shuddered with pleasure as he exhaled.

Atticus's eyes got wide with amazement. He had imagined white women being defiled by black men ever since his famous court case. He turned to Scout with a smile on his face.

"Can I watch?"

"Certainly, daddy," said Scout, giggling once again. She grabbed Atticus and Feivel by the waste and the trio walked out of the house. They started their journey to the place where Scout's big black bull was waiting to split her pussy in two.

Still waiting for someone to publish the full version of Richard Yates' Uncertain Times. The 3 chapters published online are promising (http://www.richardyates.org/bib_uncertain.html).).

I've seen conflicting suggestions about the book's completeness (some suggesting it was unfinished, others suggesting it was a draft, and a story about an MS of it stored in a freezer that suggests it was completed), but I'm interested anyway in the hopes it's more of a Last Tycoon than an Original of Laura.

why did Salinger, harper lee and Capote stop after their acclaimed novels were published?

Its like in cold blood, TKAMB and catcher in the rye were the end of them

I know Capote was kinda haunted and became an alcoholic but the other two why??

I don't know about Harper Lee but Salinger definitely didn't stop writing or even publishing after The Catcher in the Rye (Franny and Zooey, Raise High the Roof Beam, I think a few of the stories in Nine Stories). He just became a recluse and his other writings weren't as insanely popular.

>or living in a country with a history of racism?

European people love to claim that they had no involvement in the slave trade, that they are post racial, that they are the bigger man. but European people have never confronted their sins like Americans have. the Belgian adventures were not even 100 years ago. the suburbs of Paris are more isolated then even the deepest south. major political parties have direct platforms of racial supremacy. and school children are taught that black people are only arriving in Europe in the last 30 years.

what possible country do you think has no history of racism? if your not European, i guess sorry for jumping down your throat, but the question still stands.

the prose is the worst thing I've read and ever actually finished the book.

>When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the
elbow. When it healed, and Jem's fears of never being able to play football were
assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury. His left arm was
somewhat shorter than his right; when he stood or walked, the back of his hand
was at right angles to his body, his thumb parallel to his thigh. He couldn't have
cared less, so long as he could pass and punt.
Agony to read.

This has been a current question of debate. Supposedly she's meant to be senile, but her agent makes her sign contracts and shit she doesn't even understand. She's being used by publishing houses etc. to make $$$

Her sister was one of the only people who genuinely prevented people from exploiting her, so it's no surprise that after she dies this is all happening.

Not only is she rich, she's fucking 88. I'm pretty certain money isn't a contributing factor.

Surely Harper Lee has plenty of money they could be swindling out of her already without having it all play out in the public eye.

I think it's all bullshit. Just idle speculation to fill the vacuum caused by the author's desire for privacy. The idea that she's senile seems to have been adopted just because "she's 88, she must be".

It's pretty nasty allegation for media outlets to throw out at her lawyer. Even accusing them of falsifying quotes etc.
