Tayari's Blog: ATLiens Unite!

I've just received word from a certain bold-genius that the Atlanta Writers Club is hosting a read-in at the Atlanta Journal Constitution to protest the abolition of the book section. If you are in Atlanta, I hope you will join in. Participation is pretty simple. You just show up and read.

WHAT: ATLANTA “Save the Book Review” READ-IN! Bring a book (or many books!)you love, and let’s create a critical mass of readers to put the pressure on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to reverse its terrible decision to “reorganize” its book review out of existence! They got rid of the book review editor, and without an official champion for books within the paper, the quality of books coverage is endangered! It will become disorganized and sporadic, if not simply perfunctory, until, worse, it’s no longer there. TIME: 10:00 AM until…you decide! DATE: THURSDAY, MAY 3, 2007 *rain or shine

If you go, take a picture with your camera phone and email it to me.
