The sequel to “To Kill A Mockingbird” will be released on July 14. Interestingly, it was written prior to To Kill, but when the editor of the first asked her to emphasize Scout’s childhood, it morphed into the literary titan we’ve come to know. I find it interesting that so much time has passed in the interim without much fanfare or recognition of the original script. A means to an end it would seem, has been recast. 

On recasting: the new book portrays Atticus Finch in a less glorified light, less a bastion and champion of equal rights. Perhaps I’ll reread the original in the coming days in preparations for “Go Set A Watchman”. If any of you read the new one or have read the former, feel free to share your thoughts.
