ANGELIKA’S NOTE

To everyone's surprise, fifty-five years after the publication of "To Kill a Mockingbird" Harper Lee is publishing another novel. "Go Set a Watchman" was written before Lee's beloved masterpiece, as director Mary McDonagh Murphy explains in this update of her 2011 documentary "Hey, Boo: Harper Lee & To Kill a Mockingbird." Murphy's new version of the film, "Harper Lee: From Mockingbird to Watchman," sifts through the facts and speculation surrounding Lee and both her novels, and includes interviews with Lee's older sister, close friends, and literary admirers, from Oprah Winfrey to Wally Lamb.
