looking forward to getting moved in and setting up shop. its been an extremely long process… the contractors (shout out to John Bell and the entire staff at Emerge) have done an outstanding job and should be finishing up within a week… and our muralist, Dani Greene, is set to paint this sketch to a wall before we open.
now… all we’ll need are books. and coffee.

PFK (Proust Face Killah) Books and Coffee was the name i wanted for the new spot but the family shot it down (probably for good reasons, but my friends all liked it tho and i’m not opposed to a rebranding down the road!) – and tho the brand died an honorable death the logo for it still lives on!

The Wild Fig ( Books + Coffee )
Gayl Jones:
Memory is a mosquito
pregnant again
and out for blood.
– from her epic poem Wild Figs and Secret Places, 1983
our bookstore, too, is as the mosquito’s bite: come scratch us as your urge to read is agitated. mentally inflamed? come and read and quit playing around. good words will soothe you, if you allow.
