About the Publisher
William Heinemann is one of the oldest literary imprints still publishing today. Founded in 1890, the imprint boasts both a rich literary heritage and a forward-thinking, cutting-edge list of contemporary fiction and non-fiction. Historically we have published Harper Lee, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Anthony Burgess, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Graham Greene, John Steinbeck and Nabokov to name just a very few. Today William Heinemann publishes acclaimed fiction from both sides of the Atlantic. The non-fiction list is an eclectic mix that includes history, current affairs, reportage, popular culture, memoir, popular science and narrative non-fiction from authors such as Azar Nafisi (Things I've Been Silent About), Tony Judt (Postwar, The Memory Chalet, Thinking the Twentieth Century), Ben Mezrich (The Accidental Billionaires, Straight Flush), Kevin Dutton (Flipnosis, The Wisdom of Psychopaths).
