And into their already tangled lives comes Titus Joyner, the teenage son Archy has never acknowledged.An intimate epic set to the laid-back beat of classic vinyl soul-jazz and pulsing with a virtuosic, pyrotechnical style all of its own, `Telegraph Avenue' is Michael Chabon's most dazzling book yet.
