To Kill To Kill a Mockingbird

Think Atticus Finch is a sanctimonious bore? Then you might like this well-argued takedown of "To Kill a Mockingbird" in the Wall Street Journal.

I don't agree with everything it says. But after reading this article, I find myself concurring with Flannery O'Connor's assessment of "Mockingbird:" "It's interesting that all the folks that are buying it don't know they are reading a children's book."
