"Sometimes I'd 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 boy's struggle for survival.
Nick 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, 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.

I took one for the team here. If you click on the copy of the cover you can see it enlarged to show the small line Previously published as "Another Bull... Night in .... City." No updates or edits since the last publication. The book is great, by the way. Go read those reviews on the other Nick Flynn page (Amazon has twice rejected this review, presumably because of the original profane title of the book... it was rejected even after I Greeked the text). I'm not sure that Amazon is doing the right thing by not putting this info in the forefront. Hopefully they'll make changes to this page which will make it more evident.Product details

Being Flynn A Memoir (Audible Audio Edition) Nick Flynn Scott Brick Inc Blackstone Audio Books Reviews
Good
Great!
If you know or work with persons in recovery, this is a good read that you will find a lot to relate to. The movie, of course, is not as good as the book.
I had read three of Nick Flynn's books and attended two talks in Houston, so when I heard that the movie starring DeNiro was based on his memoir, which I had not read, I read it immediately. It rounded out my understanding of him and much of his writing. Interesting!
Basically a good story but it was padded by a lot of material (a script for a play) that wasn't interesting
I am a teacher and this is a great story for my students to see the dynamics of father & son relationships and the stigma of being poor and homeless.
No time to write a real review but this was a good well-written book that I was eager to read. I had no idea there was a movie tie-in but I prefer books. It is hard to find good memoirs. This is one of the good ones.
