At All Costs: Dave Eggers, Dan Wells, Ann Kjellberg, & Paul Yamazaki

“I was very politically active, particularly in the sixties. It’s kind of an unusual story…I think I am the only independent bookseller, that I am aware of, that came straight from jail to bookselling,” Paul Yamazaki, Principal/Chief Buyer at City Lights Booksellers, an official historic landmark in San Francisco. Yamazaki talks with Mitchell Kaplan about working with City Lights co-founder Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, freedom of expression, and that time in jail. Recorded in Miami and San Francisco.
