Reading GO SET A WATCHMAN Under Watchful Eyes
Most of the world is still holding their breath for the publication of Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman,(Harper; HarperAudio; HarperLuxe; HarperCollins Español; HarperCollins Español Audio; eBook) in July.
But as the London Book Fair opens, a select few are getting an early look at the manuscript. International publishers interested in acquiring territorial rights (25 countries have already signed up) are queuing up to read the manuscript in agent Andrew Nurnberg Associates’ London offices under heavy security, reports The Guardian. Because of the desire for secrecy, they are only allowed to read the manuscript in paper form.
We’re on the alert for the first leaks.
