Telegraph Avenue
A finales del verano de 2004, Archy Stalling y Nat Jaffe son dos amigos que contin�an viviendo a duras penas de su negocio, Brokeland Records, un para�so de vinilos de segunda mano localizado en un �rea indefinida entre Berkeley y Oakland. Sus esposas, Gwen Shanks y Aviva Roth-Jaffe, son las Comadronas Asociadas de Berkeley, una comadronas casi legendarias que han dado la bienvenida a miles de reci�n nacidos a la comunidad, en cuyo coraz�n se erige Brokeland Records.
Cuando el ex jugador de f�tbol americano Gibson Goode anuncia su intenci�n de construir una macrotienda Dogpile a tan solo dos manzanas de su establecimiento, Nat y Archy temen por el futuro de su peque�o negocio. Mientras tanto Aviva y Gwen se encuentran en medio de una batalla legal por su existencia profesional que pone a prueba los l�mites de su amistad. Y para a�adir un poco m�s de complicaci�n a sus vidas, aparece por sorpresa Titus Joyner, un adolescente de catorce a�os que asegura ser el hijo de Archy, y que es el amor de Julius, el hijo quincea�ero de Nat.
Imaginativa, divertida, conmovedora, emocionante, humana, triunfal, Telegraph Avenue es la novela� m�s deslumbrante Michael Chabon hasta la fecha. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "An immensely gifted writer and magical prose stylist."--Michiko Kakutani, New York Times New York Times 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 ofKavalier & 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 Telegraph Avenue, 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.
