“The Scattered Library offers a compelling and ambitious rebuttal to the notion that the story of Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute ended with the infamous Nazi book burning.

The book offers an indispensable resource for historians interested in Hirschfeld and his intellectual legacy.”

Among the myriad ways art matters, writes Paul Chan, "the experience of art saves us from being conned"

There are many arguments today about why art matters: it is a form that authenticates what is most human about humanity; it celebrates and affirms the diversity of cultures and identities; it upholds values of individual freedoms; it is a good pedagogical tool for teaching social and political ideas; it is a sound economic investment; it gives pleasure. Among these competing claims, I want simply to add one more, and a fairly prosaic one at that: that the experience of art saves us from being conned.
