Nonetheless, this makes me kinda happy. To Kill a Mockingbird to get a sorta sequel.

Quote:
"In the mid-1950s, I completed a novel called 'Go Set a Watchman,'" the 88-year-old Lee said in a statement issued by Harper. "It features the character known as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor, who was taken by the flashbacks to Scout's childhood, persuaded me to write a novel (what became 'To Kill a Mockingbird') from the point of view of the young Scout.

"I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told. I hadn't realized it (the original book) had survived, so was surprised and delighted when my dear friend and lawyer Tonja Carter discovered it. After much thought and hesitation, I shared it with a handful of people I trust and was pleased to hear that they considered it worthy of publication. I am humbled and amazed that this will now be published after all these years."

While I often just wait until my local library has a copy to read new books, this is a novel I'll buy in hardback and give it a place of honor next to my grandmother's copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Wouldn't this technically be a prequel?

Yeah. It was written first but chronologically happens after. Technically, To Kill a Mockingbird was the prequel since it was written second.
