Publisher's Synopsis
What is the nature of the Banana? To Luke, Dave, Mike, and
Sheldon, it's a curious predicament brought on by upbringing--
growing up yellow on the outside, white on the inside. They're
together to pay their last respects to Rick, the one Banana
Boy who seemed to have it all, but was found dead in his living
room, apparently of suicide.
