The battle of Atlanta
The editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week insisted the the paper would still cover the world of books, and still have book reviews, despite eliminating the position of book review editor. Nevertheless, the National Book Critics Circle is not mollified, and is continuing its campaign for a reversal of the decision.
The reviewers' organization is calling for a rally in front of the Journal-Constitution's office for next Thursday, May 3. It will be interesting to see how many readers will turn out. They care about books, but do they care about reviews?
