β¦ Synopsis
The long-awaited new novel from the bestselling, prize-winning author ofCloud AtlasandThe Bone Clocks.
Utopia Avenue is the strangest British band youβve never heard of. Emerging from Londonβs psychedelic scene in 1967 and fronted by folk singer Elf Holloway, guitar demigod Jasper de Zoet, and blues bassist Dean Moss, Utopia Avenue released only two LPs during its brief, blazing journey from the clubs of Soho and drafty ballrooms toTop of the Popsand the cusp of chart success, and on to glory in Amsterdam, prison in Rome, and a fateful American fortnight in the autumn of 1968.
David Mitchellβs captivating new novel tells the unexpurgated story of Utopia Avenue; of riots in the streets and revolutions in the head; of drugs, thugs, madness, love, sex, death, art; of the families we choose and the ones we donβt; of fameβs Faustian pact and stardomβs wobbly ladder. Can we change the world in turbulent times, or does the world change us?
