Another Bullshit Night In Suck Cityby Nick Flynn
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Nick Flynn met his father when he was twenty-seven years old, working as a caseworker in a homeless shelter in Boston. As a teenager he'd received letters from this mystery father - self-proclaimed poet (and greatest American novelist since Mark Twain), descendant of the Romanov dynasty, alcoholic, and con-man doing time for bank robbery - but there had been no contact. Another Bullshit Night in Suck City (a phrase Flynn senior uses to describe his life on the streets) tells the story of the eerie trajectory that led Nick and his father into that homeless shelter, onto those streets, and finally to each other. With a raw authenticity, telling honesty and a dark but necessary humour, Nick Flynn's memoir breathes new life and vigour into the form. In passionate and playful prose Another Bullshit Night in Suck City illuminates the emotional and physical consequences of a relationship between father and son that exists, if at all, in a void. Synopsis:The first work of prose from the prize-winning poet. He tells the heart-breaking and at times darkly comic story of his unconventional reunion between father and son, his early life with his mother and his enduring struggle for survival. This is already one of the most eagerly anticipated literary debuts in the USA this year. "No one who reads "Another Bullshit Night" will ever walk through a city in the same way again" Michael Cunningham What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
