Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.

Sexuality[edit]

I find that Batuman has written/spoken publicly on a number of occasions about her female partner - do we know if she identifies as lesbian or bisexual (or something else)? –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:22, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
