From the moment it was announced that a second novel by Harper Lee was to be published people have raised doubts as to whether this was something that the famously publicity-shy author, now aged 88 - wanted.
Despite reassurances from her publisher, lawyer and literary agent that Ms. Lee enthusiastically endorses the publication of Go Set a Watchman, residents of her home town and longtime friends are divided with some arguing that her mental health is not strong enough for her to have knowingly authorized the publication, while others are just as vocal in affirming her competence. Last month, responding to at least one case of elder abuse, investigators for the State of Alabama interviewed Ms. Lee at the assisted living facility where she lives. They have also interviewed employees at the facility and several friends. Whether anything will come from the investigation remains to be seen but person speaking off the record says Ms. Lee appeared capable of understanding questions and provided cogent answers to investigators.
