Another Bullshit Night in Suck City: A Memoir by Nick Flynn
Another Bullshit Night in Suck City: A Memoir

jessica.wakeman, October 27, 2006

Writers should read this book to learn about voice. Does Nick Flynn have one! He's deep, reflective, sardonic, and biting all at once. How he wrote a memoir about his father's homelessness and mental illness (don't worry, I'm not spoiling anything), among other problems, without being drippy or self-indulgent, I don't know. This book deserves every award and panting review that it received.
