Today the Atlanta Journal-Constitution changed the name of its Arts & Books section to Arts & Leisure. See explanation. I have no major problem with the elimination of the antiquated sounding “B-word,” however, in the same section of today’s paper you can read an interesting feature article about novels of the new South (as opposed to the lovable crusty ol' South) which ends with a quote from novelist Marc Fitten who says that Atlanta has everything it takes to be a literary town “except now maybe what we need is an audience."
