"Matthew Fishburn offers an original and often disturbing perspective on a dark chapter in literary history. He has a genius for drawing unexpected connections and he writes with the kind of elegance that was long ago banished from most academic books."
Professor Jonathan Rose, author of The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes and editor of The Holocaust and the Book.

About Me
- Matthew Fishburn
- I am a bookseller with Hordern House Rare Books in Sydney, Australia, where I first became interested in the culture of book burning while researching a catalogue of utopias and imaginary voyages. My first book, Burning Books, has been published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2008. Together with Mark Tewfik, I am currently working on a picture book investigating the graffiti written on bombs during the Second World War.
