Telegraph Avenue

"An immensely gifted writer and magical prose stylist." --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 & Clay ); to an imaginary Jewish homeland in Sitka, Alaska ( The Yiddish Policemen'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 culture--Kung Fu, '70s Blaxploitation films, vinyl LPs, jazz and soul music--and delivers a bravura epic of friendship, race, and secret histories.
