P"An immensely gifted writer and magical prose stylist."BR—Michiko Kakutani, EMNew 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 (EMThe Amazing Adventures ofEMKavalier Clay); to an imaginary Jewish homeland in Sitka, Alaska (EMThe Yiddish Policemen's Union); to discover EMThe Mysteries of Pittsburgh. Now he takes us to EMTelegraph 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 EMTelegraph 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.BR/P
