The Guardian will publish the first chapter of Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee online this Friday, July 10, and print it in the newspaper's July 11 edition, according to the Bookseller, which called the move "part of the publicity campaign" for the novel.
Go Set a Watchman will be released on Tuesday, July 14, and has been heavily embargoed. Bookstores, libraries and others are planning a range of events next week to celebrate the book's publication. See our listings of them here and here.
