Book Launch | Nobody’s Son: A Memoir by Mark Slouka in Conversation with Nick Flynn

“A remarkable story remarkably told….I have never before read anything except Nabokov’s Speak, Memory that so relentlessly and shrewdly exhausted the kindness and cruelty of recollection shaping devices.”—Geoffrey Wolff

“‘Pinned like Ahab to his whale,’ Mark Slouka sets out to confront his own leviathan. In his quiver: memories both sacred and flawed; hope, the thing without a GPS; resolve, the kind born of desperation; and love. The last will hit the mark. A brilliant memoir.”—Kathryn Harrison

“This singular memoir reverberates with obstinate, refreshing candor. Mark Slouka demonstrates powerfully the ways that memory is a function of imagination.”—Phillip Lopate

“Mark Slouka’s superb memoir should become a classic…. A heartwrenching tale of the demise of a family, told with the hard-won honesty and insight of a genuine artist. I was enthralled from start to finish.”—Lynne Sharon Schwartz
