As a playwright, Flynn documented his years working in a homeless shelter where his father, an alcoholic, showed up as a client.

Additionally, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City has been translated into 15 languages and was turned into a major film titled Being Flynn. The author’s other memoirs include The Ticking is the Bomb, The Reenactments and This is the Night Our House Will Catch Fire, along with his play, Alice Invents a Little Game and Alice Always Wins.
