an earlier draft of "to kill a mockingbird", titled "go set a watchman", was controversially released on july 14, 2015. this draft, which was completed in 1957, is set 20 years after the time period depicted in "to kill a mockingbird" but is not a continuation of the narrative. this earlier version of the story follows an adult scout finch who travels from new york city to visit her father, atticus finch, in maycomb, alabama, where she is confronted by the intolerance in her community. the "watchman" manuscript was believed to have been lost until lee's lawyer tonja carter discovered it, but this claim has been widely disputed. "watchman" contains early versions of many of the characters from "to kill a mockingbird". according to lee's agent andrew nurnberg, "mockingbird" was originally intended to be the first book of a trilogy: "they discussed publishing "mockingbird" first, "watchman" last, and a shorter connecting novel between the two." this assertion has been discredited, however, by rare-books expert james s. jaffe, who reviewed the pages at the request of lee's attorney and found them to be only another draft of "to kill a mockingbird". nurnberg's statement was also contrary to jonathan mahler's description of how "watchman" was seen as just the first draft of "mockingbird".
