Additional information
by Matt Duggan (Author)
A compelling and subversive, sly and sexy novel about an addictive love affair, a destructive friendship, a cherry 1976 Buick Electra, and a ceremonial gun once owned by Adolf Hitler. Cherry Electra was listed in the Globe and Mail's top 100 picks of 2010. "Matt Duggan's Cherry Electra is raunchy fun in the way of Elmore Leonard via the Coen brothers with a dash of Tarantino. If a novel could be a great drive-in movie, this would be it." - Andrew Pyper, author of Killing Circle. "Compressed irony, sensory verve and sardonic bite sum up the novel's voice - except where it raises lovely twinges of the heartbreaking." - Jim Bartley, Globe and Mail. "A clever and satisfying bit of cottage-country gothic... an entertaining psychological thriller that will leave readers, at the cottage or elsewhere, rushing to keep up." - Quill and Quire. "It's rare to come across something that manages to both so sadly astute and infectiously, vibrantly witty, able to point to the black hole of human shortcomings and find something sparkling in the void." - Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star. "Fast, fun, and furious." - Ray Robertson, author of David. "Matt Duggan's Cherry Electra is a raunched up love story, a friendship gone feral, a mind-smack intoxication. Irreverent, revved, sexy and hilarious." - Lisa Moore, author of February
