"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.
