What They're Saying
Critics Review
“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“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“A remarkable feat: a clear-eyed, inventive, and astonishingly honest guided tour of hell.” – Elissa Schappel - Vanity Fair
