Another Bullshit Night in Suck City (Paperback, Main)

In this razor-edged memoir Nick Flynn tells the inventive, heart-breaking and at times darkly comic story of an unconventional reunion between father and son. Nick Flynn met his estranged father at the age of 27 while working in a notorious homeless shelter in Boston. This impromptu meeting forces Flynn to reflect on his family history. Is there any truth to his father's claims to be the greatest living American novelist since Mark Twain and a direct descendant of the Romanov dynasty, or that his grandfather invented the life raft? Another Bullshit Night in Suck City tells the story of Nick's early life with his mother as she struggled to keep the fractured family together, and the eerie transient life that led his father onto the streets. It is a remarkable story of sreconciliation against the odds through the enduring strength of one boy's struggle for survival.
