Quotes by Melissa Adler (?)

“[pull-quote]I can understand your concern that works on sex crimes class next to works on gays, but this is an accident of classification, in which some topics must appear next to other topics although there may be no relation between them except that they are a subtopic of a larger subject. . . . To even begin to contemplate any intent other than to arrange works on distinct topics on the shelves boggles the mind.[end pull—quote]

The book before you provides an account of an attempt to perform this mind-boggling work.”
― Melissa Adler, Cruising the Library: Perversities in the Organization of Knowledge
