In fact, much of this book feels like an homage to the rock music of the 60s. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, and Jerry Garcia are just a few of the famous characters who interact with the band over the course of this novel. Utopia Avenue is the name of a band in 1968 London. Four musicians from broken bands are brought together by Levon Frankland, an inspired and unusually ethical manager. Their disparate musical styles and personalities form something much greater than the sum of its parts, which I suppose is true of all great bands. But I love the way he combines complicated characters, places, and situations with beautiful writing and a sense of the fantastic. I don’t always fully understand Mitchell’s work, especially the horology storyline that runs through his most recent books. In fact, it will be one of my favorites because of its subject matter.
