Pleasure Is Knowledge

Volupté is a literary micropress that celebrates the reading experience as a creative act.

We publish well-crafted memoirs and overlooked literary classics. We also partner with artists to share joyful goods that deepen the reading journey.

Founded by Matthew Frye-Castillo in 2026, Volupté takes its inspiration from the Latin voluptas (pleasure, delight) and the Matisse painting Luxe, Calme et Volupté (1904).
