more bad news for books

[ellen_datlow]

The rumours from the past week re: The Washington Post Book World were true:
the WASHINGTON POST has today announced that as of 22 February, 'Book
World' will cease to exist as a separate entity, and will instead be
incorporated into the 'Outlook' and 'Style' sections. This means that
while the POST will continue reviewing new titles, the total number -
currently some 900 books a year - will decrease. Pulitzer Prize winning critic Michael Dirda's column will still be run in the Style section.

I suppose the Style section makes sense. As they say, books _do_ furnish a room.

Ah, except that it's the Style and Arts section -- they combined those a while back. My guess is that Style & Arts will get fiction and Outlook will get non-fiction.
