Another Bullshit Night in Suck City

Reviews

"Flynn has written a potent, distinctive autobiography.... Flynn's talents are considerable—he has a compelling voice and wry sense of humor, especially about himself." — Vendela Vida, New York Times Book Review

"The prose swirls in graceful arcs that frequently rise to the level of poetry, leavened by mordant humor.... It's a powerful tale, stylishly told." — Michael Mewshaw, Washington Post

"In a perverse act of divine intervention, a life worth writing about was bestowed on a man actually able to write—in startling, beautiful, unsentimental prose.... It is crammed with beauty and wisdom, and everyone will love it." — Devin Friedman, GQ

"A remarkable feat: a clear-eyed, inventive, and astonishingly honest guided tour of hell." — Elissa Schappel, Vanity Fair

"Flynn's authentic voice... holds us rapt, keeping both the tragic and the redemptive possibilities open." — Darren Reidy, Village Voice

"Told with energy, critical reflection and sensitivity, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City is less a memoir than a study of one of America's darker conundrums: homelessness." — Thomas Curwen, Los Angeles Times Book Review

"[Flynn's] story is eerie testimony to the potent influence of an absent parent. But Nick, a poet, is too subtle a writer to say so outright, and instead lets us draw our own conclusions with a delicate, poetic logic." — Kate Bolick, Boston Globe

"Unlike the pity parties that too many memoirs have become, Night has no maudlin gestures, no 'inspirational' tones, no hysterics; it stares down emptiness with clear, dry eyes." — Troy Patterson, Entertainment Weekly
