""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 ""A remarkable feat: a clear-eyed, inventive, and astonishingly honest guided tour of hell."" -- Elissa Schappel - Vanity Fair ""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
