Focusing on the resilience of independent publishing, this book explores the journey of Heyday, a small press dedicated to California's narratives for four decades. It highlights founder Malcolm Margolin's vision, rooted in the 1970s Berkeley ethos, and showcases the press's evolution into a vital cultural force. With insights from notable figures like Maxine Hong Kingston and Robert Hass, the narrative celebrates a unique literary community and the passion that drives this unconventional enterprise, blending humor and provocation throughout.
