I don't think you would object to the larger body of his work. In fact, I think you'd find much to like.

Have a look:

http://www.salon.com/writer/matthew_pulver/

Just because someone doesn't have a "wikipedia" page doesn't mean they aren't "somebody." I've found that to be not uncommon at all--maybe he just didn't bother to write his own (that's often how they get up there).

He has also written for a local Athens GA mag called Flagpole: http://flagpole.com/authors/view/37

He has a twitter account: https://twitter.com/mattpulver

He has a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/matthew.pulver?fref=ts

Some of his stuff has been republished at alternet and other places. It's not like he doesn't have a readily available public profile on the web. He's even on LinkedIn.
