Résumé
The sequel to worldwide bestseller Angela's Ashes, Frank McCourt's second volume of memoirs tells the story of his American journey. It follows his progress from impoverished immigrant with rotten teeth, infected eyes and no formal education to brilliant raconteur and schoolteacher (a profession for which his two years spent training attack dogs in Germany during the Korean War was invaluable preparation). Exploited, helped and even saved by a cast of New York eccentrics, Frank McCourt continues his vivid, hilarious and harrowing tale of survival. Yet again, it is through the power of storytelling that Frank finds a life for himself.

À propos de l'auteur
Biographie de Frank McCourt
Frank McCourt taught for thirty years in various New York City high schools and in city colleges. His first book was Angela's Ashes, a memoir of his childhood. It won the 1997 Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times Award and the Royal Society of Literature Award amongst others, and rapidly became a bestseller, topping all charts worldwide for over three years. 'Tis, the sequel, continued its predecessor's huge success and the books have been published in more than twenty countries and languages. Frank McCourt's latest book is Teacher Man, the story of his coming of age as a teacher, a storyteller and, ultimately, a writer. He lives in Connecticut and New York.Du même auteur
