David talks to the writer and broadcaster Helen Lewis about Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird (1960), one of the most widely read and best-loved novels of the twentieth century, and in the twenty-first century increasingly one of the most controversial. Is the book an attack on or an apology for Southern racism? How does its view of race relate to the picture it paints of class and caste in 1930s Alabama? And what on earth are we to make of the recently published prequel/sequel Go Set A Watchman? Plus we discuss Demon Copperhead, JD Vance, and more.Sign up now to PPF+ to get ad-free listening and all our bonus episodes – including a new bonus episode on Philip Roth's The Plot Against America www.ppfideas.com Our free fortnightly newsletter will be out tomorrow, including more to read, watch and listen to about To Kill A Mockingbird – just sign up here https://linktr.ee/ppfideasNext time: Tim Rice talks about Evita Hosted on Acast.

Why don't directors know how basketball works? We talk a bit about My Cousin Vinny and Joe Pesci's albums, then we get into the novels of Harper Lee, but not too much, because next week we will be doing a deep dive into the film To Kill a Mockingbird! The Catwoman Basketball Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNlmRId2FVQ&ab_channel=KyleColeman Alien: Resurrection Basketball Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0GNKQQPHNU&ab_channel=sweaverfan I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa My Cousin Vinny is a 1992 American comedy film directed by Jonathan Lynn, written by Dale Launer, and produced by Launer and Paul Schiff. It stars Joe Pesci, Ralph Macchio, Marisa Tomei, Mitchell Whitfield, Lane Smith, Bruce McGill, and the final film appearance of Fred Gwynne. The film was distributed by 20th Century Fox and released on March 13, 1992. Macchio and Whitfield play William Gambini and Stanley Rothenstein, two young New Yorkers who are arrested in Alabama and put on trial for a murder they did not commit. Unable to afford a lawyer, they are defended by Gambini's cousin Vinny Gambini (Pesci), newly admitted to the bar, who arrives with his fiancée, Mona Lisa Vito (Tomei). The clash between the brash Italian-American New Yorkers and the more reserved Southern townspeople provides much of the film's humor. The principal location of filming was Monticello, Georgia. My Cousin Vinny was a critical and financial success, with Pesci, Gwynne, and Tomei praised for their performances. Tomei won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Attorneys have also lauded the film for its accurate depiction of criminal procedure and trial strategy. To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by the American author Harper Lee. It was published in June 1960 and became instantly successful. In the United States, it is widely read in high schools and middle schools. To Kill a Mockingbird has become a classic of modern American literature; a year after its release, it won the Pulitzer Prize. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family, her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was ten. Go Set a Watchman is a novel by Harper Lee that was published in 2015 by HarperCollins (US) and Heinemann (UK). Written before her only other published novel, the Pulitzer Prize-winning To Kill a Mockingbird (1960), Go Set a Watchman was initially promoted as a sequel by its publishers. It is now accepted that it was a first draft of To Kill a Mockingbird, with many passages in that book being used again.

The message was delivered on Sunday, October 1, 2023, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION People who love the book “To Kill a Mocking Bird” are often shocked and disoriented if they read Harper Lee's second book, “Go Set a Watchman,” when they discover that Atticus Finch ends up a member of the Ku Klux Klan. We don't expect that one of the most noble heroes of American literature has a shadow side. Even more surprising is when they finish the second book and they still like Atticus despite his imperfections. We live in a time of “cancel culture.” Increasingly it seems people assume there is a purity or perfection that people must attain. Today one misstatement or misdeed or old photograph can cause a person to lose their job or get kicked off social media. We want our heroes to be flawless and increasingly we expect that in each other. Yet, people are complex and multidimensional and have the ability to evolve and change. The first week of October is Banned Books Week in America, and Harper Lee's books are being banned across the country. However, I believe that together, they offer us an important lesson in being human. Atticus' daughter Scout and son Jem came of age in “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and perhaps the rest of us have a chance to come of age, in a way, from her second book. In accepting other people's imperfections, we may be able to begin to accept our own. Or perhaps it's the other way around. “Let the one without sin among you, cast the first stone…” John 8:7 SUBSCRIBE TO AUDIO PODCAST: WATCH THIS MESSAGE ON YOUTUBE: SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: GIVE A DONATION TO HELP US SPREAD THIS LOVE BEYOND BELIEF: or text LOVEBB to 73256 LET'S CONNECT: Facebook: Instagram: All Souls Church Website:

Novel Ideas will be discussing the book Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee. DB81896. Elizabeth Lindsey will lead this discussion. Below is the synopsis from Bookshare. A historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014. Go Set a Watchman features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Returning home to Maycomb to visit her father, Jean Louise Finch—Scout—struggles with issues both personal and political, involving Atticus, society, and the small Alabama town that shaped her. Exploring how the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird are adjusting to the turbulent events transforming mid-1950s America, Go Set a Watchman casts a fascinating new light on Harper Lee's enduring classic. Moving, funny and compelling, it stands as a magnificent novel in its own right. Join us in this zoom meeting to discuss this great book.

Remembering Miles Franklin author Andrew McGahan, bestselling YA author Angie Thomas on her new novel The Come Up and the origins of Harper Lee's famous character Atticus Finch.
Nelle Harper Lee was an American novelist, renowned for her remarkable novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and went on to become a classic of modern American literature. The plotline and people featured in To Kill A Mockingbird are based loosely on Harper Lee’s own family, neighbors, and events that occurred in her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama in the 1930s. In a similar fashion to last week’s artist, William Faulkner, Harper Lee put a spotlight on the deep south and the incredible amount of racism and hatred thrust upon the black community, as well as the large class divides prevalent in the small town of Monroeville, though her lens is through the eyes of two children rather than the perspectives of adults. Strangely enough, over fifty years after the release of To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee released a second novel as a sort of sequel, entitled Go Set A Watchman, which was later confirmed to be To Kill A Mockingbird’s first draft. So, I think you all are thinking what I am when I say…just what the hell happened in those years of absence? Where did Harper Lee go? Who really knew Harper Lee, or better yet, who was truly her friend, and who was not? What, if anything, can we ascertain from the rumors surrounding the publication of Go Set A Watchman, or Harper Lee’s state in her last years, which is highly debated amongst her friends and family? And maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to answer the biggest question of all: why, oh why, did Lee decide never to write again?

February 3, 2016 at the Boston Athenæum. Early last summer came the surprising news that Harper Lee was about to publish a second novel, more than half a century after her iconic To Kill a Mockingbird had appeared in 1960. Mockingbird, the story of a young girl’s initiation into the reality of Southern racism, is among the most cherished coming-of-age stories in American literary culture, and its portrait of the noble Atticus Finch, a lawyer who risks everything to defend a black man falsely accused of a crime in the segregated South of the 1930s, has inspired generations of admirers. For all its defense of such fundamental democratic principles, however, Mockingbird also has been criticized for its narrowing of questions of racial justice to a drama of white conscience, of historical change to a matter of individual attitude. Harper Lee took several years to revise the original draft of the novel that eventually appeared as To Kill a Mockingbird. Her original manuscript, entitled “Go Set a Watchman,” was known to exist, but only recently did the author agree to its publication after it was rediscovered in her papers. In this lecture, John T. Matthews will discuss with audience members how this “new” work alters our understanding of what Lee wanted to say about the racial crisis in the U.S. South during the decades of the modern civil rights movement.

In a similar vein to the last episode, the boys shun a traditional start-to-finish analysis of 'Go Set A Watchman'. Instead, they focus on some of novel's wider context and the media reaction to its release. As you would expect, within lies spoilers. Oh, and a fair amount of foul language. You've been warned.

It took an hour to set up the audio feed for this podcast, so please excuse the brevity of this description. On this seventh episode of the Garage gets off track almost immediately as Simon and Darren discuss Harper Lee's new novel (man is that weird to write) Go Set A Watchman. Well Simon discusses it since he's the only one who's read it. Spoiler alert: it's okay. The ostensible topic for this episode is The Greatest Stories Ever Told (as in orally), in other words great performances or spoken word deliveries. Darren's choice is Roméo Dallaire whom he had the pleasure of hearing deliver a talk that endured in his memory despite the terrible powerpoint slides that accompanied it. Strangely, missing the opportunity to meet Darren hasn't figured significantly in Dallaire's life since. Between offering advice on performing spoken word (how did that happen?) Simon's choice for a great performance is Cate Kennedy, who worked on an if:book project with him called Lost in Track Changes. The reading event for that project was generally of extraordinary quality, but Kennedy was still a stand out.
