{{Underlinked|date=August 2016}}{{italic title}}Checker and the Deraillurs is a 1988 novel by American novelist Lionel Shriver. The novel, Shriver's second, follows the dramatic life of rock drummer for the Deraillurs band of Queens, Checker Secretti as he goes through a series of relationships and social exchanges.^[1] Shriver described the novel as influence by her father's strongly religious values, with the plot "derived glaringly from the New Testament".^[2]

People magazine reviewed the novel in 1988, concluding that "Shriver's breezy, hip style can be irritating; so can her slips into psychobabble. But Checker and the Derailleurs, like its beguiling protagonist, is hard to forget."^[1] Publisher Weekly described the Checker "a boy so radiant that his creator has fallen in love with him. And so has the reader."^[3]
