Max Dunn
Maxell Walter Dumont Dunn (1895 – 4 September 1963) was an Australian editor, publisher, poet, and literary translator. Max Dunn was born in Dublin, Ireland, Dunn's early life remains obscure, though he claimed to have been educated at the University of Edinburgh, and in France and the United States, before moving to Australia in 1924, and settling in Melbourne. His claims to have been in the Royal Flying Corps in World War I also seem unsubstantiated.
