Go Set A Watchman

　　《梅崗城故事》1960年出版後，旋即獲得普立茲文學獎，其影響力至今未曾衰退：它暢銷全世界超過四十個國家，書籍銷售量破四千多萬冊，它也是美國圖書館重複借閱率最高的書、英國青少年最愛的小說之一，更被稱為是20世紀最有影響力的「世紀之書」。

　　但那之後，哈波‧李卻沉寂文壇，不再推出任何新作品，甚至極少接受專訪，被媒體稱為當今美國最神秘低調的作家。

　　而等了半世紀，今年無意間在家找到這本書《Go Set a Watchman》的手稿，而當年這部無緣出版的作品改以六歲小女孩思葛視野敘述的《梅崗城故事》出書。因為這個美麗的意外，讓原本堅持不再寫書的哈波李終於同意出書，稱這本為奇蹟之書一點也不為過。

　　《Go Set a Watchman》設定在《梅崗城故事》後的二十年，思葛從紐約重返梅崗城探望父親，而她也開始省思當年發生的事件以及試著了解父親對社會的想法，絕對將是另一本文學經典。（文/博客來編譯）

　　Go Set a Watchman is set during the mid-1950s and features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Scout (Jean Louise Finch) has returned to Maycomb from New York to visit her father Atticus. She is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand both her father’s attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood. An instant classic.
