  Cherry "touches on some of the darkest chapters of recent American history: the opioid epidemic, the lingering trauma of war for a generation of young Americans caught up in the endless conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the social and psychological costs of addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder [...] Cherry fits into a growing body of literature by American veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who have turned to fiction to explore the trauma of war and its aftermath" (The New York Times). 
  
  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. Nico Walker recounts his struggle while incarcerated, publishing his story before his release in 2020.
  
  Now a major motion picture starring Tom Holland and directed by the Russo Brothers.
