Telegraph Avenue

In Michael Chabon’s long-awaited new novel, TELEGRAPH AVENUE, two longtime friends co-own a record store when a former NFL quarterback announces his plans to open a megastore nearby, essentially killing their small business. What does this announcement have to do with a forgotten crime of the Black Panther era, and will the two friends make it through their struggles? Reviewer Norah Piehl says, “Reading Chabon's prose can be both exhilarating and exhausting (in the best possible way). His sentences are so carefully crafted, so muscular in their vocabulary and metaphor, that readers can feel almost overwhelmed at times... But his prose and storytelling are also deeply compassionate...” By the way, there is an Enhanced E-Book of TELEGRAPH AVENUE, available wherever enhanced e-books are sold, which includes eight original illustrations by acclaimed artist Greg “Stainboy” Reinel, exclusive videos of Michael Chabon discussing the book, an original theme song, excerpts of the audiobook edition as performed by Clarke Peters (of "The Wire" and "Treme"), and more.
