Who is Flint?

Flint Lemec was born in a blizzard, baptized in gin, and once got a B+ in Lutheran Confessional Writings. He lives alone in a college town that doesn’t know what to make of him. When he’s not writing books about hungover faith, he’s misquoting Kierkegaard or arguing pointlessly about Star Trek canon. His work blends theology, Sega Genesis, and existential dread. He believes in the Holy Spirit, but not in outlining. No More Epiphanies is his first novel. He hopes it sells enough copies to afford a better brand of whiskey.

I write like I think: urgently, awkwardly, and slightly in error.
— Flint Lemec

What He Writes

Flint Lemec’s fiction explores the intersections of grace, delusion, pop culture, and the blurry line between repentance and regret. His characters are often rather drunk, smothered in guilt, and desperate for the universe to answer.
