Summary

Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic of American literature, and for good reason. The follow-up-slash-first-draft, Go Set a Watchman, doesn't have the same impact, but it's a fascinating look at how books change during the editing process.
This show was recorded live in Philadelphia, PA. Thanks to everyone who came out!
