Telegraph Avenue - Chabon Michael
From the bestselling author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay; his first novel in 5 years is a lovingly painted pop-culture epic. Their wives, Gwen and Aviva, are the Berkeley Birth Partners, a pair of legendary midwives. As summer in Oakland, California, draws to a close, Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe are hanging in there, co-regents of Brokeland Records.
And while their husbands struggle to mount a defence, Aviva and Gwen find themselves caught up in a professional battle that tests their friendship. When former star quarterback Gibson Goode announces plans to dump his latest Dogpile megastore on Telegraph Avenue, Nat and Archy fear the worst for their vulnerable little enterprise, as behind Goodes proposal lurks a nefarious scheme. Then into their already tangled lives comes Titus Joyner, the teenage son Archy has never acknowledged.
An intimate epic that pulses with a virtuosic, pyrotechnical style all of its own, Telegraph Avenue is Michael Chabons most dazzling book yet, and a must-read for fans of Nick Hornbys High Fidelity.
