About This Book
"Bananamania" has returned in an enchanting new novel of uncanny sulbtlety,
style, magic, and mystery that Frank Ramirez of the South Bend Tribune declares
is "every bit as good as Yoskimoto's first book ... perhaps better."
A celebrated Japanese writer has committed suicide, leaving behind a collection
of stories written in English, N.P. But the book may never be published in his
native Japan: each translator who takes up the ninety-eighth story chooses death
too -- including Kazami Kano's boyfriend, Shoji. Haunted by Shoji's death,
Kazami is inexorably drawn to three young people whose lives are intimately
bound to the late writer and his work. Over the course of an astonishing summer,
she will discover the truth behind the ninety-eighth story -- and she will come
to believe that "everytking that had happened was shockingly beautiful enough to
make you crazy."
