  2. The funky soul of Michael Chabon

    Michael Chabon's new novel, "Telegraph Avenue," is like a child's bedroom overflowing with '70s pop culture — with used vinyl records and Motown name-dropping and cheesy blaxploitation movies, and set against a backdrop of racial identity in California.

  4. A chat with Chabon

    Michael Chabon's best-selling new novel, “Telegraph Avenue,” is set in and around Brokeland Records, a used-vinyl record store on the border between Oakland and Berkeley, Calif., where Chabon has lived since the late 1990s. The story follows the store's co-owners, band mates Archy Stallings (the son of Luther Stallings, a former star of Blaxploitation martial-arts movies) and Nat Jaffe, as they struggle to keep Brokeland going in the face of competition from a new megastore owned by Gibson Goode, a former NFL quarterback who's now “the fifth-richest black man in America.” In their orbit are their spouses, Gwen and Aviva, both professional midwives; Nat and Aviva's gay son Julius; and his love interest, Titus Joyner, who turns out to be Archy's long-unacknowledged teenage son.

  6. From page to small screen

    Some of the biggest blockbuster movies in the last 10 years are based on books. (That means you, Harry Potter and “The Hunger Games”). But the annual television lineup has always included its share of book adaptations as well, dating back to at least the 1960s with “Peyton Place.”

  7. A funky throwback

    Archy Stallings, the African-American record store merchant at the center (or slightly off center) of Michael Chabon's grand new novel "Telegraph Avenue," lives by his belief that the decade after his 1968 birth "corresponded precisely with the most muscular moment in the history of black music in America," and by extension, the most glorious era in American culture.

  12. Film review: The movie 'John Carter' is as forgettable as the title

    When the Disney folks decided to drop the last two words from the title &ldquo;John Carter of Mars,&rdquo; they were left with the blandest, least informative name of any big-budget film in living memory. Sure, &ldquo;Shrek&rdquo; and &ldquo;Forrest Gump&rdquo; were equally uninformative, but at least they sounded unusual. &ldquo;John Carter,&rdquo; on the other hand, is one iota more distinctive than (the nonexistent) Jack Smith or Jim Johnson. There's a reason Spielberg and Lucas gave Prof. Hank Jones a colorful nickname.
