Harper Lee's second novel to be published in July

Astounding news! (I put this in the Chi O section because I thought it didn't quite fit in News or Entertainment.)

This is quite surprising, considering Miss Lee's history of being adamant about never publishing another book. She has had at least one stroke. Her sister has passed. This is an interesting decision. The announcement came from her publisher.

Here's an informative article about Miss Lee and her sister which gives some background.

#HarperLee is a Top 10 trending topic (U.S.) on twitter today!

Just found this -- our Chi Omega magazine, the Eleusis, reported that Harper Lee was working on her 2nd book.
In an issue from 1964. Guess we scooped everyone else ... by 50+ years.

Jezebel suggesting that this is due to exploitation: http://jezebel.com/be-suspicious-of-...vel-1683488258

Quote:
Harper Lee's sister Alice Lee, who ferociously protected Harper Lee's estate (and person) from unwanted outside attention as a lawyer and advocate for decades, passed away late last year, leaving the intensely private author (who herself is reportedly in ill health) vulnerable to people who may not have her best interests at heart.
The Atlantic also not pleased: http://www.theatlantic.com/entertain...er-lee/385132/

Quote:
The announcement that the author will publish a new novel is thrilling to fans—but also contradicts what the author has long said she wants.

Though it's effectively a sequel, Ms. Lee actually wrote " Go Set a Watchman" first.

I just hope that someone trustworthy is looking after her interests.

I do want to read the book.

Some more background. I really hope this isn't a money grab.

Sounds like it might be, at least in part. I will pray for her.
