Spanning four decades, from 1968 onwards, this is the story of a fabulous but flawed family and the slew of ordinary and extraordinary incidents that shape their everyday lives. It is a story about childhood and growing up, loss of innocence, eccentricity, familial ties and friendships, love and life. Stripped down to its bare bones, it's about the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.
Les yeux cernés de noir, une cigarette à la main : Keith Richards, le guitariste de génie des Rolling Stones, raconte sa vie d’enfant terrible qui hurlait, éternel provocateur, « I can’t get no satisfaction ».

Eines frühen Morgens begibt sich Mia auf die Reise: ohne Koffer und ohne Ziel. Ihr bisheriges Leben jagt sie in die Luft. Der erste Roman des jungen italienischen Autors Martino Gozzi - ein literarisches Road Movie und eine explosive Entdeckung.
Nick Flynn met his father when he was twenty-seven years old, working as a caseworker in a homeless shelter in Boston. As a teenager he'd received letters from this mystery father - self-proclaimed poet (and greatest American novelist since Mark Twain), descendant of the Romanov dynasty, alcoholic, and con-man doing time for bank robbery - but there had been no contact. Another Bullshit Night in Suck City (a phrase Flynn senior uses to describe his life on the streets) tells the story of the eerie trajectory that led Nick and his father into that homeless shelter, onto those streets, and finally to each other. With a raw authenticity, telling honesty and a dark but necessary humour, Nick Flynn's memoir breathes new life and vigour 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.
