Had Thanksgiving with a large group of librarians, and we finally focused on one key reference question: can anyone prove or disprove the story that Lynn Cheney wrote lesbian pulp fiction?
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that…)

What’s proven:
Lynne V. Cheney, wife of Vice-President Richard Cheney, wrote a book that was published in 1981 called Sisters. ISBN: 0451112040
According to OCLC, only 3 libraries in CA have it. Slate noted a bit of controversy over it: http://www.slate.msn.com/id/1007047
A small mention on PlanetOut: http://www.planetout.com/pno/news/feature.html?sernum=145
And there was a NY Times article on the book:
“Elaine Showalter, an English professor at Princeton University, was browsing a used-book stall in Paris in the early 1990′s when she came upon an astonishing find: an Old West romance, replete with whorehouses, lesbian affairs and attempted rapes, written by an author whose name was all too familiar to academics in the humanities.”

She’s not exactly a secret lesbian pulp writer, though …
For a picture of the “Sisters” cover and some excerpts, see this link http://whitehouse.org/administration/sisters.asp
Currently a copy of the paperback is available on Ebay and is signed by Lynne Cheney herself… can’t get much more proof then that.
