Contrary to the rumors, this independent supporter of literary readings in Chicago will not be shutting its doors. Though this shop has taken on investors, "it remains to be seen" what will become of its popular monthly reading series. What is the reading series named for the shop?

Congratulations to Busia on winning the Chicago Lit Scene Examiner's debut trivia question from last week! Busia wrote: "I'm a literary trivia rookie taking a stab at your trivia question. I submit that it's Gwendolyn Brooks' A Street in Bronzeville and the street is 47th Street (although it could be Michigan Avenue, too)."
Poet Laureate of Illinois Gwendolyn Brooks’s ballad, “Of De Witt Williams on His way to Lincoln Cemetery”, was published in 1945 in A Street In Bronzeville. Did Brooks and the Wolf ever interact? Possibly. Either way, Bronzeville's stretch of 47th Street inspired their work. Busia's prize for the Chicago Lit Scene Examiner's first Thursday trivia is this response! And the esteem of your trivia peers.
