Check this: Big Banana, agricultural giant turned luxury brand, has become the world's coolest corporation. Unbelievably profitable, socially significant, it's Big Banana who controls the culture now. People love them. People worship them. Whole city-blocks painted yellow, and Big Banana's logo on just about every jay-walker and DJ in town. But to hear Miranda Swami tell it, they're baaaaaad news. Like really bad.
Miranda Swami: collegiate punk by day, wildly-famous influencer and street-artist by night. But shhhh, it's a big secret. As her online alter-ego "Gwami the Seer," Miranda has built exactly the kind of sycophantic following you'd need to take down a multi-national banana company singlehandedly. And tonight, at a gallery opening the whole world will be watching, Miranda plans to do just that. Only it's never that simple, is it?
Watch a battle ensue between two titans: Big Banana vs. Gwami the Seer. Watch the vengeful Miranda fall into a strange, awesome world of twisted conspiracies and Dark Web maneuverings, gunslingers, shapeshifters, philosophical frogs, and the Devil himself. Watch our heroine wade through a maddening web of intrigue and nonsense to get what she wants. Only, well, what does she want?
Bananas! is a rich, ripe, and deeply imaginative exploration of the millennial mind. Equal parts absurdist and irreverent, this fast-paced, slobber-knocking, thrill-ride of a novel seeks to answer one hell of a prescient question: What does it mean to grow up as part of a generation unable to understand itself?
