Elias Greig teaches literature and researches at the University Melbourne—before that, he sold books, and before that, shoes. He is co-editor of Short Take on Long Views, a book series forthcoming from Routledge, and his work, both academic and creative, has been published in various places. His bookseller’s memoir, I Can’t Remember the Title but the Cover is Blue (Allen & Unwin, 2018), is available in all good bookshops and some bad ones. He rents on Wurundjeri country and thinks with whales a lot.
