A Great Idea for a Novel


So I'm walking through the produce market today and I see a depleted banana section. It was at about half capacity and people were sorting through the bananas, taking their pick and I thought to myself, what if there were no more bananas? What if there were, say, 100 bananas left in the world? What a great idea for a novel/la! You could trace the path of the last 100 bananas and I guarantee it would be enthralling in the right hands. Or, you know, not. You'd have to avoid being too precious about it, like a literary Babbette's Feast (not that it's a precious movie, but the tendency to deify the produce is always there).

At any rate, I, the patron of this idea, am officially commissioning this work. Go to it, America!
