"It's not as magical as To Kill A Mockingbird"

Newsday

Available for over a year

Harper Lee's first novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" came out in 1960 and won a Pulitzer Prize for its exploration of racial injustice and loss of innocence in a small Southern town in America. It's still taught in classrooms today. Its sequel "Go Set a Watchman" is published today. Maureen Corrigan, book critic for NPR's Fresh Air, compares them.
