Telegraph Avenue: A Novel

amp;#8220;An immensely gifted writer and magical prose stylist.amp;#8221;
amp;#8212;Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

New York Times bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon has transported readers to wonderful places: to New York City during the Golden Age of comic books (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier amp;#38; Clay); to an imaginary Jewish homeland in Sitka, Alaska (The Yiddish Policemenamp;#8217;s Union); to discover The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. Now he takes us to Telegraph Avenue in a big-hearted and exhilarating novel that explores the profoundly intertwined lives of two Oakland, California families, one black and one white. In Telegraph Avenue, Chabon lovingly creates a world grounded in pop cultureamp;#8212;Kung Fu, amp;#8217;70s Blaxploitation films, vinyl LPs, jazz and soul musicamp;#8212;and delivers a bravura epic of friendship, race, and secret histories.
