The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is one of 10 news organizations in the country to receive an advanced copy of “Go Set a Watchman,” the second novel written by award-winning author Harper Lee.
The newspaper will publish a review of the book Tuesday, the same day as its public release.
The AJC will provide additional coverage, including a visit to Monroeville, Ala., where Lee lives, as well as local book stores and libraries’ plans for selling.
Lee's first novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" earned her the 1960 Pulitzer Prize for its exploration of racial injustice in the South. "Watchman," which Lee considers a "parent" to the original novel, was discovered by her attorney Tonja Carter.
Her latest story will follow protagonist Scout Finch, who returns as an adult to Maycomb — a fictional town that bears resemblance to Monroeville. Reese Witherspoon will narrate the audio version.
