I haven't read the new book, just to disclaim.

Now, first, I think it's really interesting to think of Atticus as not being the pillar of morality and fairness we - and Scout - were led to believe. It's realistic and addresses a bigger issue, for sure.

That being said, you have to realize that Atticus has been a literary symbol for a very long time. To Kill a Mockingbird is a long time classic. I would always forget Harper Lee was still alive (until recently) because you don't think of classic authors as being around. And classics don't usually get "canon" sequels. I think it's silly to rag on people for being upset. It's like Anne Rice making Lestat a repentant Christian, it goes against everything we thought we knew about the character, and who was a major literary (and pop culture, for that matter) symbol for a very long time.

Honestly, it feels too late to make a sequel. If it had come out a few years later, that'd be something else. But there's nothing wrong with people being upset.

Well, the thing it it wasn't a sequel. It was basically an early draft that was never meant to see the light of day.

Maybe, but that doesn't really matter. To the world, it came out later, therefore, it is a sequel. I don't think it makes a difference what she intended with it.
