Product Information

Nick Flynn met his father when he was working as a caseworker in a homeless shelter in Boston. As a teenager he'd received letters from this stranger father, a self-proclaimed poet and con man doing time in federal prison for bank robbery. Another Bullshit Night in Suck City tells the story of the trajectory that led Nick and his father onto the streets, into that shelter, and finally to each other.

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., [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., Flynn's authentic voice... holds us rapt, keeping both the tragic and the redemptive possibilities open., Readers of memoirists Frank Conroy and Tobias Wolff will relish Flynn's pungent account of two rudderless souls who navigate their way back into each other's lives., 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., 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., 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., 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., 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., 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.

It's hard not to compare the book with the title
Memoirs are a popular sub-genre these days. We’re fascinated with celebrity—so much so, in fact, that after the most famous personages are exhausted, we seek out more in the rank and file—teachers, writers, then finally—people on the skids. That’s where ABNISC fits in. Nick Flynn’s life begins and persists in the worst of circumstances—only partially outside his means to do something about. His father is a drunk who becomes a street person. His suicidal mother compensates through drugs and a series of “uncles” for Nick and his brother, who periodically wage war on one another. Each of these family members is clearly too intelligent to be embroiled in such circumstances—but they are. This seems to be the essence of Flynn’s story. One expects Nick to be repelled by such circumstances, but he ... Memoirs are a popular sub-genre these days. We’re fascinated with celebrity—so much so, in fact, that after the most famous personages are exhausted, we seek out more in the rank and file—teachers, writers, then finally—people on the skids. That’s where ABNISC fits in. Nick Flynn’s life begins and persists in the worst of circumstances—only partially outside his means to do something about. His father is a drunk who becomes a street person. His suicidal mother compensates through drugs and a series of “uncles” for Nick and his brother, who periodically wage war on one another. Each of these family members is clearly too intelligent to be embroiled in such circumstances—but they are. This seems to be the essence of Flynn’s story. One expects Nick to be repelled by such circumstances, but he isn’t. He embraces it, using and selling drugs and working for gangsters. As his life wears on (as does this reader’s patience), he happens on his father, who, amid drunkenness and various incarcerations, fancies himself a writer. Nick strikes a father-hating pose, but he is clearly enthralled with his father and his frequent appearances and disappearances. At the same time, Nick alludes to an awe of his mother akin to that of a saint, which can only be a manifestation of poorly developed and expressed guilt on Nick’s part. The life this family leads separately and apart, is characteristic of the underbelly of modernity. By that I mean, they find no solace in their circumstance, nor with any prospective future, nor with one another, the only thing setting them apart from the rest of society being the extent of their angst and addiction. Nick manages to obtain a liberal arts education, but one wonders at the strength of his educational process, given his seeming ambivalent attitude toward it. One gets no feel for why he blames himself for his mother’s suicide, nor for why he hates his father so. Or would he have to resort to cliché were he to do so? The reader can only surmise answers here, in the end guessing that the personalities involved are as superficial as a life of easy money, easy sex, and drugs would be. One expects a memoir to reveal character by unearthing failings as a way of healing them. But Nick plays his cards too close to his vest for that—it’s as if by revealing his emotional makeup he would be revealing both an innate shallowness and a consequent ambivalence to face it and do something about it. That ABNISC has won the Pen/Albrand Award for Memoir and has become a top selling piece of the genre speaks as strongly about our society as about the author. In my humble opinion, his avid readers are social voyeurs, scraping the skin of bottom feeders for something to make them feel better about themselves. I suspect the book’s marketers knew this and chose the title to attract those who seek to strike an existential posture in defense of unsatisfying lives, the choices they, like Nick, have made. Still Flynn is a competent writer. He manages to compose enthralling sentences on occasion, but only when they don’t seem to matter to the story. And he tells his life story in a literary jumble of tense, experiments in poetic pose, stories, rants, and reflections that often work cohesively. This memoir’s overall effect, however, seems to be that of Flynn’s life, dodging hard choices and eluding the consequent fallout through a smokescreen of promise that ultimately fails to live up to its ongoing hype.

The Indigent/genius/booze phenomena in it's ragged glory!
The movie, "Being Flynn," I caught accidentally on cable during a low-point/broke/ unemployed period...it was awesome, so I had to read the memoir. Cheers!

More darkness from N. Flynn
It's dark, unrelenting darkness that wants someone to hold its hand. His prose is great, but Flynn comes off as a whiny little bitch. Go save your dad from the streets instead of letting him rot. There, I solved your problem, you're welcome.

A book to become a classic
Some books you read and then forget what it was about. This one, when I started reading, didn't think I would like it. But, it turned out to be an excellent read. It is one that I feel will become a classic. I know I won't forget the story. I decided to buy the book because of the great title. I am glad I did.

Best. Memoir. Ever.
This is the best memoir I have ever read. I've given away every copy I've come across. Make sure to get the paperback for the new afterword.
