Family Newspaper

I love that a New York Times article that includes this:

There’s the first time he tried crack. (“The taste is like medicine, or cleaning fluid, but also a little sweet, like limes.”) The tryst with a taxi driver behind a 7-Eleven in Newark. (“What I want is the blurry oblivion of body-crashing sex.”) Or the time that his boyfriend, a downtown filmmaker who goes by the pseudonym Noah in the book, watches as Mr. Clegg smokes crack and has sex in a hotel room with a $400-an-hour Brazilian prostitute named Carlos. (“Shame, pleasure, care, and approval collide and the worst of the worst no longer seems so bad.”)

can also include this:

…Nick Flynn, author of a memoir whose graphic title cannot be published here.

Because, you know, it’s a family newspaper.

(The title? Another Bullshit Night in Suck City.)
