Cherry
It's 2003, and as a college freshman in Cleveland, our narrator is adrift until he meets Emily. But when he almost loses her, he chooses to make an indelible statement: he joins the Army.The outcome will not be good for either of them.As a medic in Iraq, he is unprepared for the realties that await him. The two of them experience an instant, life-changing connection.
Many of them die. He and his fellow soldiers huff computer duster, abuse painkillers, and watch porn. When he comes home, his PTSD is profound.
As the opioid crisis sweeps through the Midwest, it drags both him and Emily along with it. As their addictions worsen, and with their money drying up, he stumbles onto what seems like the only possible solution—robbing banks.Written by a singularly talented, wildly imaginative debut novelist, Cherry is a bracingly funny and unexpectedly tender work of fiction straight from the dark heart of America.
