Of the two 'references' in Wikipedia used to support the biography of the writer, Avi, one is 'Cataloging Rules' by the 'American Lesbians Association' . If I was aware of that association at all, I would be surprised that the other A.L.A. had any interest in metadata, Dublin Core, or AACR2. Even more--Why would this organization of all things classification and sapphic be interested in a biography of Avi?
Perhaps there is a clue in that other collaborative/authoritative resource chock-a-block with truthiness-- Answers.com. Fans of Avi, your wait will soon be over! The inside scoop can be found in his autobiography : My Life Looking Like a Shemale (2007). Apparently, Answers.com beat Books-in-Print and Amazon to this forthcoming publication.
