Michael Chabon Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon’s newest novel is a sprawling yet intimate multi-character story that tackles the issues of race and class in urban America. Kung Fu, Blaxploitation films, vinyl LPs, jazz and soul music animate the world of Telegraph Avenue, the latest from this “immensely gifted writer and magical prose stylist” (The New York Times).

Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Summerland (a

Policemen's Union, and Gentlemen of the Road; as well as the
short story collections A Model World and Werewolves
in Their Youth; and the essay collections Maps and Legends and Manhood
for Amateurs. Sponsored
by Tamara and Harry Handelsman “[Telegraph Avenue] is a magnificently crafted, exuberantly alive, emotionally lustrous, and socially intricate saga...Chabon’s rhapsodically detailed, buoyantly plotted, warmly intimate cross-cultural tale of metamorphoses is electric with suspense, humor, and bebop dialogue….An embracing, radiant masterpiece...”—Booklist, starred review Telegraph Avenue Reviewed: Co-sponsor: The PEN/Faulkner Foundation See the entire Festival line-up here!
