Goodreads asked David Leite:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

David Leite As several readers have already noted, there's an element of mystery to "Notes on a Banana," my memoir. I play detective from age 11 until 36 trying to understand what was wrong with me--"this blackness, this gloaming." I plant all the clues along the way, so that the reader experiences the growing awareness of my illness the same way I did. When I'm finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder age 36, the reader understand fully how and why I got to that point.
