✦ Synopsis
Utopia Avenue are the strangest British band you've never heard of. Emerging from London's psychedelic scene in 1967 and fronted by folksinger Elf Holloway, guitar demigod Jasper de Zoet and blues bassist Dean Moss, Utopia Avenue released only two LPs during its brief and blazing journey from the clubs of Soho and draughty ballrooms to Top of the Pops and the cusp of chart success, to glory in Amsterdam, prison in Rome and a fateful American fortnight in the autumn of 1968.
David Mitchell's 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 don't; of fame's Faustian pact and stardom's wobbly ladder. Can we change the world in turbulent times, or does the world change us? Utopia means 'nowhere' but could a shinier world be within grasp, if only we had a map?****
The long-awaited new novel from the bestselling, prize-winning author of Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks.
One of the most anticipated books of summer 2020.
Utopia Avenue is the strangest British band you’ve never heard of.
Emerging from London’s psychedelic scene in 1967, and fronted by folk singer Elf Holloway, blues bassist Dean Moss and guitar virtuoso Jasper de Zoet, Utopia Avenue embarked on a meteoric journey from the seedy clubs of Soho, a TV debut on Top of the Pops, the cusp of chart success, glory in Amsterdam, prison in Rome, and a fateful American sojourn in the Chelsea Hotel, Laurel Canyon, and San Francisco during the autumn of ’68.
David Mitchell’s kaleidoscopic novel tells the unexpurgated story of Utopia Avenue’s turbulent life and times - of fame’s Faustian pact and stardom’s wobbly ladder - of the families we choose and the ones we don’t - of voices in the head, and the truths and lies they whisper - of music, madness, and idealism.
Can we really change the world, or does the world change us?

“L’uomo cammina con i piedi in terra e la testa per aria; e la storia di ciò che è accaduto sulla terra – la storia delle città, degli eserciti e di tutte quelle cose che hanno avuto corpo e forma – è solo una metà della storia dell’uomo.” L’altra metà è rappresentata proprio dall’utopia. “Utopia,”
