The Public Intellectual is a bilingual pop-up bookstore in St. Louis. We are not only building a community around books, but the conversations that they inspire.
This is about books, but it is also not about books.
Our business is rooted in the Spanish verb convivir, the act of sharing space in a way that creates connection. We came to this idea through our own thoughtful conversations and wanted to open that to an audience. The intention behind the books we sell and the events we host embodies the spirit of the verb.
