He is deeply engaged in the film, "Being Flynn", and he describes the uncanny experience of having his memories being portrayed by actors on sets designed to fit his own past. Along the way, he cites a number of theories on the process of consciousness and of memory.As one would expect, Nick is deeply shaken by the experience of watching Paul Dano act out his days working in a homeless shelter only to encounter his own father walk through the door. De Niro plays his father, and Flynn finds himself coaching him on the props and mannerisms that his father had used. Even more startling is watching Julianne Moore portray his mother's suicide. Flynn's observations are wry, and self deprecating. He successfully endeavors to share the regrets and the emotions he experiences in this almost surreal experience.This book snuck on me sneakily and steadily. I started reading this book at a remove, but became more ensnared little by little each page. The neurological and philosophical asides are well chosen and add to our understanding of Flynn's experience. The language is beautifully considered and discreetly spiced with irreverence. After all, who has not played that game, who would play me in a movie? Flynn has found out. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deeply insightful, wry, poetic reflections by a master memoirist *by N***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2013* Flynn's work continues to astonish. Life -how he's lived it- does keep giving him fascinating material to draw on (how many writers consult on set to DeNiro and Julianne Moore on the portrayals of their own family members? Watch their wife interact on set with Paul Dano playing their younger self?) What Flynn does with this material is weave straw into gold. What a master weaver he has become.Flynn's philosophical and sociological musings are astute, not over-reaching. The lens of his narrative is continually refocusing, from the most microscopically personal to the widest angle macro view, and back again.Flynn explores the remarkable reenactments within and beyond his life with humility. His reflections are deep, and his identification with (and respect for) down -on -their -luck -folks is genuine. He doesn't romanticize their (or his own) struggles, or the pain their (or his own) shortcomings may have caused others. There's a sense of bemusement about his life, and of gratitude, which softens the impact of the ugliness he doesn't shy from confronting, in himself and in the world.The captain calls for a show of applause - bravo, Mr. Flynn! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book *by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2013* Nick Flynn has long been one of my favorite poets, and this intense book reads like a series of prose poems. It moves back and forth in time, as current events evoke past experiences, allowing the reader to follow Nick's brave journey as he watches and participates in the reenactment of his difficult past. Even those familiar with the stories of Nick's father's homelessness and his mother's suicide will gain new perspectives. They will also have the opportunity to celebrate the craftsmanship of a powerful writer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/1702046-nick-flynnthe-reenactments-a-memoir](https://www.desertcart.es/products/1702046-nick-flynnthe-reenactments-a-memoir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
