About this book

PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection 2025, Finalist

One of Electric Literature's Most Exciting Debut Short Story Collection of 2024
Named a Best Book of 2024 by Debutiful and Electric Literature

The stories in The Man in the Banana Trees take place in the past, present, and future—from the American Gulf South to the orbit around Jupiter. We meet teachers and students, ghosts and aliens. An ice cream consultant in the year 2036 predicts a devastating flavor trend and a disgruntled New England waiter investigates a mysterious tanker crash. Although wildly varied in setting, length, and genre, a thread of the fantastic unites these stories, as characters struggle to understand that thing lurking at the edge of their perception: something sinister, or maybe—miraculous.
