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
, 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.
