Montana's Top Bananas is an on-the-road book and can be read in snatches wherever you are and need distraction--at the airport, bleachers, hotel room, even the bathroom! Both hard copy or digital, it's portable and will distract you--in the best sense--from doldrums, because here are contemporary folk tales as told by nine professors and a graduate student.(Some are serious, most are silly or corny, though most will enable you to drop names, ah Bach!) They tell 39-tales in rhymed verse as they drive a van to a conference from the University of Montana-Missoula to San Francisco. (The plot is based on a real journey with real people.) In the spirit and style of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, they embark on a pilgrimage to reap knowledge at the Holy Grail of computer technology in Silicon Valley with one simple rule: you can speak at any time so long as you speak in rhyme. Even the dialogue is rhymed yet natural. The themes of the tales are as diverse as the group of reluctant pilgrims, professors Virgil Vulgate, Smokey Cloud, Inger Johnson, Lupe de Vega, Lolo Sandec, T. Osprey Munsch, Tommy Tornado, Lawrence Carrow, Buster White, and graduate student Jose Roberto, Bob.
