Real World Analogue: Bananafish lead singer 'Paul Hudson' seems to be rather close to Paul Hewson AKA Bono of U2, whom DeBartolo admits have been her favourite band since the age of 11. Another influence is Jimmy Gnecco of the rock band Ours and a solo star. 

Jacket Blurb:
Written in her wonderfully honest, edgy, passionate and often hilarious voice, Tiffanie DeBartolo tells the story of Eliza Caelum, a young music journalist, and Paul Hudson, a talented songwriter and lead singer of the band Bananafish. Eliza's reverence for rock is equaled only by Paul's, and the two fall wildly in love.

When Bananafish is signed by a big corporate label, and Paul is on his way to becoming a major rock star, Eliza must make a heartbreaking decision that leads to Paul's sudden disappearance and a surprise knock-your-socks-off ending.
