    Les Figues Press's Interests
General

Mrs. Porter’s Women’s Art Salon


The Press sponsors a women’s art salon and discussion in which artists working in all media (visual artists, writers, dancers, musicians) share their work and discuss how the presented material fits into a larger artistic and social frame. The Salon meets on the second Saturday of the month in mid-city Los Angeles. Interested parties should contact the Press for additional information and instructions.

TrenchArt: Annual Series of Experiments in Literature


Les Figues publishes TrenchArt, an annual series of innovative literature and poetics. Each TrenchArt series includes two poets and two prose writers whose work the Press situates within a larger discussion of contemporary aesthetics. Each series also incorporates works by contemporary visual artists representing additional aesthetic explorations.

By publishing individual titles as part of an annual series, the Press presents work in cultural conversation; to advance this exchange, all participants write an aesthetic essay or poetics, which is separately published as the series’ leading title. Each individually authored title includes an Introduction by a critic or another writer, thus providing another layer of critical engagement.

About me:


Les Figues Press creates aesthetic conversations between readers, writers, and artists.


The Coevolution of the fig and the fig wasp

Official mission statement: Les Figues Press seeks to educate and encourage public appreciation of aesthetic-based writing and other art forms, and to further the discussion of literature and aesthetics in our time. By “aesthetic-based,” we mean work that grounds itself within a cultural tradition and holds the artist responsible for that cultural participation. We believe innovations in literature are not intuitively known, and that authors have an artistic obligation to assist the public in understanding and assessing writing that is as deeply serious as it is unfamiliar. We publish unconventional literature and poetics in order to introduce innovative work to the larger community, and to invigorate public and academic debate about experimental literature and literary aesthetics. We do not see ourselves as gatekeeper, but gate, providing a portal for literature that is difficult, demanding or otherwise unacceptable to an increasingly risk-averse publishing industry—literature whose existence is vital for a thriving culture.

Les Figues is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

Hey T, hey Les Figues, Axo





The End of the World Book: A Novel (University of Wisconsin Press, April, 08) by Alistair McCartney.

An encyclopedia of obsessions and philosophical fixations, A to Z. A version or perversion of the World Book. A twisted, melancholy encyclopedia for this twisted, melancholy century.

“If I’ve read a more deeply impressive, beautiful, sweeping, mindful, and innovative first novel than Alistair McCartney’s The End of the World Book, I have no memory of it. McCartney is a writer of peerless, brilliant originality and pure, giant talent.”
—Dennis Cooper, author of The Sluts and God Jr.
