La nueva novela del ganador del Premio Pulizter por Las asombrosas aventuras de Kavalier & Clay. A finales del verano de 2004, Archy Stalling y Nat Jaffe son dos amigos que continuan viviendo a duras penas de su negocio, Brokeland Records, un paraiso de vinilos de segunda mano localizado en un area indefinida entre Berkeley y Oakland. Sus esposas, Gwen Shanks y Aviva Roth-Jaffe, son las Comadronas Asociadas de Berkeley, unas comadronas casi legendarias que han dado la bienvenida a miles de recien nacidos a la comunidad, en cuyo corazon se erige Brokeland Records. Cuando el ex jugador de futbol americano Gibson Goode anuncia su intencion de construir una macrotienda Dogpile a tan solo dos manzanas de su establecimiento, Nat y Archy temen por el futuro de su pequeno negocio. Mientras tanto Aviva y Gwen se encuentran en medio de una batalla legal por su existencia profesional que pone a prueba los limites de su amistad. Y para anadir un poco mas de complicacion a sus vidas, aparece por sorpresa Titus Joyner, un adolescente de catorce anos que asegura ser el hijo de Archy, y que es el amor de Julius, el hijo quinceanero de Nat. Imaginativa, divertida, conmovedora, emocionante, humana, triunfal, Telegraph Avenue es la novela mas deslumbrante Michael Chabon hasta la fecha."

Review:
"Astounding....steamrolls the barrier that has kept the Great American Novel at odds with the country it's supposed to reflect....[A] huge-hearted, funny, improbably hip book."--John Freeman, "Boston Globe"
"Forget Joycean or Bellovian or any other authorial allusion. "Telegraph Avenue" might best be described as Chabonesque. Exuberantly written, generously peopled, its sentences go off like a summer fireworks show, in strings of bursting metaphor."--Jess Walter, "San Francisco Chronicle"
"The writing - stylized, humorous and often dazzling - is inflected with tones of jazz and funk. But it's Chabon's ear for the sounds of the human soul that make this book a masterpiece, as his vividly drawn characters learn to live at the intersection of disappointment and hope."--Robin Micheli, "People" (4 out of 4 stars)
"Chabon has made a career of routing big, ambitious projects through popular genres, with superlative results....The scale of "Telegraph Avenue" is no less ambitious....Much of the wit...inheres in Chabon's astonishing prose. I don't just mean the showy bits...I mean the offhand brilliance that happens everywhere."--Jennifer Egan, "New York Times Book Review" (cover review)
"An end-of-an era epic....A Joyce-an remix with a hipper rhythm track."--"Kirkus Reviews" (starred review)
"He writes with such warmth and humor and sheer enthusiasm - for his characters, for the rhythms and atmosphere of Oakland, for geek culture, for the mysterious power of music, which he captures with uncommon descriptive virtuosity - that by the end it's hard to resist this charmingly earnest book."--Rob Brunner, "Entertainment Weekly"
"This is a novel rich in story and character, rich in its dialogue and descriptions, rich in spirit and invention - and full of sharp, funny writing....The spirit of "Telegraph Avenue" is one of union and reconciliation, a welcome, exuberant voice in our fractious times."--David Walton, "Cleveland Plain Dealer"
"A genuinely moving story about race and class, parenting and marriage...Chabon is inarguably one of the greatest prose stylists of all time, powering out sentences that are the equivalent of executing a triple back flip on a bucking bull while juggling chain saws and making love to three women."--Benjamin Percy, "Esquire"
"A moving, sprawling, modern-day tale that uses the improvisational shifts and rhythms of jazz and soul to tell the story of two couples....With seeming ease, Chabon shifts from high-wire flourishes...to moments of crystalline simplicity."--Robert Bianco, "USA Today" (4 out of 4 stars)
"[Chabon] is a truly gifted writer of prose: He writes long, luxurious sentences that swoop and meander before circling back in on themselves, not infrequently approximating the improvisational jazz that Archy and Nat hold so dear."--"Associated Press"
