Peter Timms, author of In Search of Hobart, will be speaking at Fullers Bookshop on Sunday, November 1, at 2pm.

In Search of Hobart is an informed and nuanced description of our city – a study of change and acknowledgement what makes Hobart Hobart – the good and the bad.

Timms was born and educated in Melbourne and moved to Tasmania with his partner, Robert Dessaix, around nine years ago - and his study of place is nuanced finely between an outsider’s observations and a true local eye.

Timms has been a freelance writer since 1988 and has also been Editor of Art Monthly Australia and art critic for The Age.

He is the author of What’s Wrong with Contemporary Art (2004) and most recently Private Lives: Australians at Home Since Federation (2008).

Everyone is welcome to attend this free event.
