"An immensely gifted writer and magical prose stylist."
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times.
The Author transports us to Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California, via an exciting novel that explores the intertwined lives of two Oakland families: one black and the other white. Chabon creates a world grounded in pop culture involving jazz and soul music (on vinyl LPs, of course--hence the cover design) and establishes a new spin on interracial friendships and their hidden histories.
