Michael Doyle - Radical Chapters
Oct 18 2012 7:30 pm
 Colfax Avenue: Journalist and author Michael Doyle will discuss and sign his new book Radical Chapters: Pacifist Bookseller Roy Kepler and the Paperback Revolution (Syracuse University Press).  Long a hub for literary bohemians, countercultural musicians, and readers interested in a good browse, Kepler’s Books and Magazines is one of the most influential independent bookstores in American history. When owner Roy Kepler, a Denver native and University of Colorado graduate, opened the San Francisco Bay Area store in 1955, he popularized the once radical idea of selling affordable books in an intellectually bracing coffeehouse atmosphere. Paperback selling was not the only revolution Kepler supported, however. In Radical Chapters, Doyle sheds light on Kepler’s remarkable contributions to pacifism and social change. Doyle’s fascinating chronicle captures the man who inspired that community and offers a moving tribute to his legacy.
