when you take a tour around the hot dog factory, you best be prepared to see dogs being cut in half and decapitated, the same goes for writing

Why would she get rid of it? Tons of writers keep drafts and discarded novels they never intend to publish

I agree, I'm not suggesting she ever intended to destroy it. I also agree with you in thinking she never intended to publish it... but now she is.

Let me restate my concern: she's advanced in age, possibly (probably) senile, and the person in control of her estate (her sister) recently died. I think the push to publish this book did not come from Harper Lee regardless of what her publisher says.

But then again, I probably don't know what the gently caress I'm talking about.
