Utopia Avenue : a novel

Master storyteller David Mitchell weaves the epic story of the fictional band Utopia Avenue, who come together in England in 1967 and take the music scene by storm. Blending together elements of rock, R&B, jazz, and folk, the band evokes Mitchell's own ability to combine disparate genres into an inimitable whole. Devotees of Mitchell's Horologists will recognize the surname of Utopia Avenue's virtuoso guitarist Jasper de Zoet, descendant of the titular character of The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. But this being a Mitchell novel, that is most certainly not the only intertextual connection to the rest of his œuvre.
