Dodgers

Dodgers is a dark, unforgettable coming-of-age journey that recalls the very best of Richard Price, Denis Johnson, and J.D. Salinger.When East, a low-level lookout for a Los Angeles drug organisation, loses his watch house in a police raid, his boss recruits him for a very different job: a road trip – straight down the middle of white, rural America – to assassinate a judge in Wisconsin.Having no choice, East and a crew of untested boys – including his trigger-happy younger brother, Ty – leave the only home they`ve ever known in a nondescript blue van, with a roll of cash, a map and a gun they shouldn`t have.Along the way, the country surprises East. The blood on his hands isn`t the blood he expects. And he reaches places where only he can decide which way to go – or which person to become.By way of The Wire and in the spirit of Scott Smith`s A Simple Plan and Richard Price`s Clockers, Dodgers is itself something entirely original: a gripping literary crime novel with a compact cast whose intimate story opens up to become a reflection on the nature of belonging and reinvention.
