In Telegraph Avenue, Michael Chabon transports us to Oakland, California, where he explores the intertwined lives of two families, one black and one white. The novel, set in the summer of 2004, focuses on Archy Stalling and Nat Jaffe, friends and partners at Brokeland Records, a second-hand vinyl paradise. Their wives, Gwen Shanks and Aviva Roth-Jaffe, are the Berkeley Birth Partners. The story is complicated by the arrival of Titus Joyner, a teenager who claims to be Archy's son, and the threat of a megastore that endangers their business. An epic novel about friendship, race, and secrets of the past.
