Literati Cocktail is a multi-genre reading series held annually
at the West Hollywood Book Fair in Los Angeles. In September 2004,
curator Tess. Lotta launched Literati Cocktail as a bimonthly reading
series at the Parlour Club (West Hollywood). After a productive year
run, Literati Cocktail relocated to The Space at Fountain’s End (Echo Park)
and flourished as a bimonthly lit and visual art venue. In fall 2006,
Literati Cocktail once again transformed as an annual event at the
West Hollywood Book Fair. Each year, Tess. partners with another literary
curator to present a taste of the vibrant So Cal lit scene. Join Tess.
