Acton reviewed Telegraph Avenue by Michael Chabon
Review of 'Telegraph Avenue' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is another beautifully written novel by Michael Chabon, who has a mysterious ability to conjure up irresistible characters, seeing out of their eyes, and becoming a master of any subject. In this case, the subjects are the history and culture of a certain area of Oakland, which form the backdrop and memories of the main characters. As anyone would expect from a Chabon novel, there is more than one storyline, all depicting people trying to find their own meaning and way of life, while attending to their individual road blocks. I found it riveting.
Now, I must look up some of this music--and perhaps a Kung Fu movie.
