Eat your heart out, 17th-century Paris — the literary salon has been reborn in the cozy maze of Los Feliz's Skylight Books. For the store's new monthly series, the staff highlights its favorite works from three independent, nonprofit publishers. Brooklyn-based Archipelago releases translations of books ranging from Korean to Croatian; Red Hen Press, a local house that hosts a reading series at the Geffen Playhouse, publishes poetry, fiction, and memoirs; and Dzanc, founded by Steve Gillis of 826Michigan, specializes in independent-minded literature. Sip some wine, eat some chèvre, and schmooze over Rilke translations and grad-student poetry like it's Paris, 1673.
