Frank Reiss has been in the book business for 20 years now, the last 14 spent running A Cappella Books, the off-beat oasis for used and new titles in Little Five Points. But next month Reiss makes the not-unheard-of leap from bookseller to book publisher with the soft launch of Everthemore Books.

The extremely low-volume imprint will focus on bringing out-of-print titles back into circulation,...

To look at Matt Stokes, it’s hard to imagine anyone daring to rumble with him. The Atlanta native has the build of a pioneer who could pull the plow himself should the oxen die. But then he parts his lips, and a clean, gentle, resonant tenor sings sweetly and sincerely of love. Suspend that one disbelief — that neither a Jet nor a Shark could credibly challenge him — and, yes, this... | more...

Suzi Parker knows good sex. And she isn’t afraid to ask.

But before you dub her Dixie’s own Carrie Bradshaw, consider this: Her new book, Sex in the South (Justin, Charles and Co.) has less in common with “Sex and the City” and more closely resembles another HBO product, the soft-core “Real Sex” series so loved by sleepless teenage boys.

Parker, a journalist from Little Rock, Ark., details in...

She stands beneath the jeweled panes of the Georgia Avenue Church, her arms slightly arced, her body minutely bowed. Slow piano tones tick weary metronomes under a trembling mezzo aria crying shattered questions and blasphemies, aching in breathless silence. She moves through her motions like a rooftop wall walker, careless of her balance, forgetful of the fall.

Next, the same woman, the same...

It takes a certain kind of creativity to turn the standard aren’t-men-rotten theme into something truly memorable. For every Bridget Jones’s Diary there’s Bridget Jones’s Diary: The Edge of Reason, a badly Xeroxed copy of the original.

With Autobiography of a Fat Bride (Villard), Laurie Notaro has managed to tap into that creativity. From the beginning, when the author’s hippie boyfriend is...

Blame it on Disney Studios, who painted a murderous, megalomaniac jinni as a soft-hearted, bright-blue comic genie. They’re also guilty of omitting the demon/damsel bondage scenes and the three sadistic sisters who slap a man silly for not knowing the right name for their vaginas. Yes, in America A Thousand and One Nights have been William Bennettized — cleansed of all the good stuff.

Gateway Performance Productions’ Frida: Diego and Me attempts to wed an opposite pair of artistic sensibilities, and it’s as stormy a union as the marriage of Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Kahlo is most famous for her self-portraits, while Gateway is an Atlanta-based, 25-year-old touring company that specializes in mask and mime theater. A workshop production staged at The MASK... | more...

Mitch Albom must be in heaven. His last book, Tuesdays with Morrie, spent an astonishing four years on the New York Times best seller list. And his latest, The Five People You Meet in Heaven (Hyperion), shot to No. 1 on the same list almost immediately after its release in September.

The books share other similarities: Both feature elderly men who look back over their lives; both are written...

When Terry Kay speaks, he sounds a little like the voice of God. That is, God as he might sound in some mid-’50s Technicolor epic, ordering Moses to lead the Israelites. Kay’s precise dialect resonates with warmth and authority, the kind of voice you can’t help but absorb and obey.

But the voice in Kay’s writing is different, more soothing, though just as commanding. The new novel from the...
