Cherry by Nico Walker
Set against the backdrop of the Iraq War and the opioid crisis, this raw and unflinching narrative follows a young man from Cleveland who enlists in the army, seeking purpose and escape from his aimless life. Upon returning home, he grapples with PTSD and a growing addiction to heroin, which leads him down a path of self-destruction and crime. As he spirals deeper into despair, he turns to bank robbery to fund his habit, capturing the chaotic and often tragic journey of a generation caught in the throes of addiction and disillusionment.
