Teacher man

A third memoir from the author of the bestsellers 'Angela's Ashes' and 'Tis'. It depicts Frank McCourt's teaching career that lasted for 30 years, working in New York's public high schools. Frank estimates that he probably taught 12,000 children during this time and it is on this relationship between teacher and student that he reflects here.

Praise for Angela's Ashes: 'An astonishing book!completely mesmerising -- you can open it almost at random and find writing to make you gasp.' Independent 'The most remarkable thing about Frank McCourt, apart from his survival, is his lack of sorrowfulness. Angela's Ashes sings with irreverent Limerick wit. It makes you smile at the triumph of the storyteller.' The Times 'Writing in prose that's pictorial and tactile, lyrical but streetwise, Mr McCourt does for the town of Limerick what the young Joyce did for Dublin.' New York Times Praise for Tis': ''Tis is a work of great charm and power, perhaps even more so than its predecessor.' Mail on Sunday 'Few will be able to resist this pacey and fluent sequel.' Guardian
