Briana Parker, co-owner of Brooklyn’s Lofty Pigeon Books, joins Naomi for a discussion that begins in her thoroughly annotated copy of Ulysses from a high school English class (shouts out to Richard Roundy, Briana’s English teacher and now regular at Lofty Pigeon!) and meanders through the many worlds Briana has occupied and built in New York City — from growing up in Sheepshead Bay, to the Union Square Barnes & Noble, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the cozy kids’ corner at her own Lofty Pigeon Books.

Briana Parker is a third-generation Brooklynite. She spent ten years as an editor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art before opening Lofty Pigeon Books in Kensington, Brooklyn with her partner Davi in 2023.

Marginalia: an autobiography is out now!
