Masterpiece. (people)

Nat and Archy are old friends and business partners. Their wives, Aviva and Gwen, are also friends and work together as midwives at births. The setting is the city of Oakland, California, including Telegraph Avenue, which separates the old black working-class neighborhood from the prosperous, upscale white part of the city.

The men's record store is threatened with closure, and the midwives are attacked due to a problematic delivery. How do the two couples get out of the crisis situation?

Telegraph Avenue is a heartbreaking, exciting and humorous novel interwoven with many pop culture elements. Chabon combines the worlds of kung fu, 1970s black films, jazz and soul into a bravura, epic story about friendship, race and the inner, eternal stories of man.
