New account from literary agent appears to conflict with lawyer Tonja Carter’s version of events that led to the discovery of Go Set a Watchman manuscript
Harper Lee’s lawyer, who negotiated the deal over this week’s controversial launch of Go Set a Watchman, was allegedly far more intricately involved in searching for the manuscript years ago than previously disclosed, the Guardian has been told.
According to the allegations, Tonja Carter instigated a meeting at least four years ago in which the author’s personal safe deposit box was opened and its contents itemized. The new account appears to conflict with Carter’s own version of events, in which the lawyer insisted the manuscript for Lee’s second novel was only found in that same deposit box last August.
The fresh allegations were levelled by Lee’s former literary agent, Sam Pinkus, who in a statement to the Guardian on Wednesday offered his most complete account yet of the process he claims led to the discovery of Watchman. Pinkus’s statement diverges in several important ways with Carter’s official version of how the new book came to light.
