In February of 2015, author Harper Lee announced that she would be publishing a second novel, Go Set A Watchman, which would be a sequel to her famous work To Kill A Mockingbird. To Kill A Mockingbird won the Pulitzer Prize in 1960, and until this announcement was the only novel ever published by Lee. To Kill A Mockingbird deals with the racism she observed growing up in Monroeville, Alabama. In this video, author Wally Lamb and documentary film maker Mary Murphy, who produced a documentary on Lee, speak about what the announcement of a second novel means to them.
