Soon deep in the thrall of heroin addiction, he arrives at what seems like the only logical solution: robbing banks.

Bracingly original. --The Wall Street Journal \n \n Cherry is a profane, raw, and harrowingly timely account of the effects of war and the perils of addiction. --Entertainment Weekly \n \n A raw coming-of-age story in reverse. . . . Cherry touches on some of the darkest chapters of recent American history. --The New York Times \n \n Aptly compared to Jesus' Son and Reservoir Dogs, Cherry] is a devastating example of art imitating life. --Esquire \n\n
