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. With a raw authenticity, telling honesty, and a dark but necessary humor, Nick Flynn's memoir breathes new life and vigor 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.
