"Utopia Avenue" are the strangest British band you've never heard of. Emerging from London's psychedelic scene in 1967 they produced only two LPs during their brief and blazing journey to success. 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; and of fame's Faustian pact and stardom's wobbly ladder. The spectacular new novel from the bestselling author of "Cloud Atlas".
