Classics Series: To Kill a Mockingbird

from The Book Case · host ABC News | Charlie Gibson, Kate Gibson

It’s the third in our classics analysis series! To Kill a Mockingbird is one of America’s favorite novels. Is it worth its weight in the public’s love? Is Atticus Finch the hero we always thought, and does Go Set a Watchman call the novel’s moralism into question? We examine these questions with two Harper Lee scholars, Michele Reutter and Jonathan S. Cullick, who wrote Mockingbird Grows Up, a re-examination of Mockingbird through the eyes of Go Set a Watchman. Join us!
