Re: Very interesting story in today's Washington Post on Harper Lee's new book

It's very interesting, the whole thing. I am of course forgetting the name of the past editor but retired editor was on NPR talking about this "new" book after its release date was announced. Said he some questions about whether or not is was really Harper Lee's work. Which I found really, really interesting and kind of a slightly controversial thing to say at the time. But now, after it's settled in, it seems that there are some questions about how this manuscript was obtained. And other things.

I just don't believe that Harper Lee decided, decades after writing something, to suddenly release it. She's been used.
