1. Another Bullshit Night In Suck City
A Memoir
A raw, darkly funny memoir in which a man working at a Boston homeless shelter is forced to confront his estranged, alcoholic father when he turns up among the clients; through vivid, lyrical scenes and painful memory, the narrator reckons with childhood abandonment, addiction, shame, and the complicated mixture of anger and compassion that comes with trying to help someone who once hurt you.
