ReviewsGo Set a Watchman is such an important book, perhaps the most important novel on race to come out of the white South in decades...|9780062409867|, Don't let 'Go Set a Watchman' change the way you think about Atticus Finchâ€¦the hard truth is that a man such as Atticus, born barely a decade after Reconstruction to a family of Southern gentry, would have had a complicated and tortuous history with race., A coming-of-age novel in which Scout becomes her own woman...Go Set a Watchman's voice is beguiling and distinctive, and reminiscent of Mockingbird. (It) can't be dismissed as literary scraps from Lee's imagination. It has too much integrity for that., Go Set a Watchman provides valuable insight into the generous, complex mind of one of America's most important authors., The success of Go Set a Watchman... lies both in its depiction of Jean Louise reckoning with her father's beliefs, and in the manner by which it integrates those beliefs into the Atticus we know., What makes Go Set a Watchman memorable is its sophisticated and even prescient view of the long march for racial justice. Remarkably, a novel written that long ago has a lot to say about our current struggles with race and inequality., ...the voice we came to know so well in To Kill a Mockingbird - funny, ornery, rulebreaking - is right here in Go Set a Watchman, too, as exasperating and captivating as ever., Go Set a Watchman's greatest asset may be its role in sparking frank discussion about America's woeful track record when it comes to racial equality., [Go Set a Watchman] captures some of the same small-town Southern humor and preoccupation with America's great struggle: race., Go Set a Watchman offers a rich and complex story... To make the novel about pinning the right label on Atticus is to miss the point., Don't let 'Go Set a Watchman' change the way you think about Atticus Finch...the hard truth is that a man such as Atticus, born barely a decade after Reconstruction to a family of Southern gentry, would have had a complicated and tortuous history with race. That this doesn't emerge in To Kill a Mockingbird, then, may be one of that book's failings, a tendency to sugarcoat, to oversimplify. The Atticus in Go Set a Watchman, in other words, is likely closer to the way such a man would actually have been., Go Set a Watchman comes to us at exactly the right moment. All important works of art do. They come when we don't know how much we need them., [Go Set a Watchman] contains the familiar pleasures of Ms. Lee's writing- the easy, drawling rhythms, the flashes of insouciant humor, the love of anecdote., Atticus' complexity makes Go Set a Watchman worth reading. With Mockingbird, Harper Lee made us question what we know and who we think we are. Go Set a Watchman continues in this noble literary tradition., Go Set a Watchman is more complex than Harper Lee's original classic. A satisfying novel... it is, in most respects, a new work, and a pleasure, revelation and genuine literary event., As Faulkner said, the only good stories are the ones about the human heart in conflict with itself. And that's a pretty good summation of Go Set a Watchman.
