Telegraph Avenue then is a novel by Michael Chabon, published in 2012, that explores the intersecting lives of two families—one black, one Jewish—who run a vintage record store on the titular street in Berkeley. The story unfolds over a few days in 2004, weaving together themes of race, music, fatherhood, and gentrification as the characters confront personal and professional challenges, including the threat of a large chain store moving into the neighborhood.
