Tim Jarvis, bookseller and manager of Fullers Bookshop in Tasmania.
It’s a pretty cruisey job, right? Manning the desk with piles of artfully arranged books behind, beside and, well, everywhere around you and only occasionally being distracted from thumbing through the latest bestseller to chat to a customer.
The truth is not quite like that says Tim Jarvis, who’s both a bookseller and the manager of Fullers Bookshop in Hobart, Tasmania.
Thuy On is the Reviews and Literary Editor of ArtsHub and an arts journalist, critic and poet who’s written for a range of publications including The Guardian, The Saturday Paper, Sydney Review of Books, The Australian, The Age/SMH and Australian Book Review.
