Publisher's Summary:
Sometimes Id see my father, walking past my building on his way to another nowhere. I could have given him a key, offered a piece of my floor. But if I let him inside the line between us would blur, my own slow-motion car wreck would speed up.
With a raw authenticity stripped of self-pity and a powerful narrative voice unlike any other, Being Flynn illuminates the hidden story of fathers and sons in America. Nick Flynn has written a remarkable testament to the enduring strength of one boys struggle for survival.
Nick met his father when he was working as a caseworker in a homeless shelter in Boston. As a teenager, hed received letters from this stranger, a self-proclaimed poet and con man doing time in federal prison for bank robbery. Being Flynn tells the story of the trajectory that led Nick and his father onto the streets, into that shelter, and finally, to each other.
Critic Reviews:
What a piece of workeloquent, funny, unsentimental, and bravely inventive. (Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Mystic River and Shutter Island)
Nick Flynns devastating memoir does what only significant works of art can doit shows us a world we know, but fail to see or understand. No one who reads [Being Flynn] will ever walk through a city in the same way again. If I say that Flynns book ranks with Frank Conroys Stop-Time, I mean it as the highest possible praise. (Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of The Hours)
A stunningly beautiful new memoirA near-perfect work of literature. (San Francisco Chronicle)
