In retaliation, the banana producers financeright-wing paramilitaries to cleanse the zone of guerrillas and their supposedcollaborators. Through the intertwined lives of fourcharacters--a banana worker making a play for power in the guerrillas, adecadent Colombian banana planter who runs his business from the safety ofMedellín, a widow in Urabá struggling to stay on the right side of the localparamilitaries, and an American banana executive wading ever deeper intotroubled waters-- The Banana Wars chartsthe struggle to survive in impossible conditions, in a place where no one is tobe trusted and one false move can lead to death. Starkly drawn from the true history of Urabá andthis period of conflict, including the unseen role of US corporate interests,celebrated author Alan Grostephan's latest is an incandescent historical novelfor fans of Jesmyn Ward, Roberto Bolaño, and Fernanda Melchor.

Reviews
"Here is a novel in which dead men still speak ''for not even the dead shut their mouths.'' The Banana Wars is as fine a novel as Juan Rulfo''s Pedro Páramo or Fernanda Melchor''s Hurricane Season . Alan Grostephan''s prose is devastatingly precise, with a beauty that arises--perversely--only from horrifying situations. I have not read anything as fine as The Banana Wars in ages." --Michelle Latiolais, author of Widow and She "In Urabá, Columbia, the banana trade is an extremely violent and unsettling history, one that Grostephan resists sugarcoating. Unlike an actual banana, there is nothing banal or mild about The Banana Wars . Told from several compelling perspectives, this novel is blistering, unflinching, and hard to put down." --Jen Beagin, author of Big Swiss and Vacuum in the Dark "Don''t let banana in this title alleviate war in any way for you. From its opening quote by A.S. Ramos to its final chapter, Alan Grostephan''s THE BANANA WARS is a riveting and indispensable novel that hails life as monumental, and the only force of the Universe worth talking about--fuck all them Riders of the Apocalypse! It just so happens that life burns brightest when its opposing forces are present and Grostephan knows this well; he is marvelous at detail, an engrossing storyteller and a deep feeler to boot. What a book! It was both a surprise and a balm for this war-torn heart and mind to read it." --Ismet Prcic, author of Shards and Unspeakable Home "I dare you to enjoy a banana split after you''ve read AlanGrostephan''s gut-wrenching novel The Banana Wars. Vividlywritten, unforgettably peopled, ranging across a landscape at once horrific andsublime, The Banana Wars will wring you out, leaving you at onceexhausted and enriched, the way every good book exacts something from you evenas it feeds your soul." -Angel Khoury, bestselling author of BetweenTides "A searing account of the ongoing consequences of colonialpower structures in Colombia. What strikes me about The Banana Wars isthe keen, journalistic eye and the refusal to look away from the lives andpower struggles of everyday people--guerillas, paramilitary soldiers, sexworkers, plantation owners and their backers overseas--all of whom are trappedin a brutal system of exploitation and madness." -Blair Austin, author of Dioramas "Alan Grostephan writes with lush exuberance as though hewere a Garcia Marquez''s nephew. Confidently the narrative follows severalpeople, switching POVs along the way, so we have a nearly omniscientpicture of the class warfare, crime, and the mystery centered around the magicfruit, and at the same time intimate and sensual details. Cinematic. Eachsentence delights." -Josip Novakovich, author of Rubble of Rubles Past Praise for Alan Grostephan''s debut novel, Bogotá "The first thing to know about Alan Grostephan''s novel "Bogotá" is that it is extraordinary. ... Fiction about slum life is often journalistic or ideological, but Mr. Grostephan describes the neighborhood''s squalor in forthright, naturalistic prose streaked with acid irony." - Wall Street Journal "With unflinching brutality and rawness, this remarkably executed debut novel achieves a highly original, catchy prose--often mingling Spanish slang throughout its hardboiled, supercharged narrative. ... The author''s focus on the downtrodden feels uniquely visceral and real." - Publishers Weekly starred review "Alan Grostephan''s riveting first novel, ''Bogotá, follows the lives of a rural panguero, or boatman, and his family as they flee the violence of the Colombian countryside for the scarcely less violent slums of the city of Bogotá." -Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "I dare you to enjoy a banana split after you've read AlanGrostephan's gut-wrenching novel The Banana Wars.
