:: We asked author Frank McCourt about his craft and in a previous issue of WSQJ (Volume 1:2) he gave us candid answers. For St. Paddy's Day, and for all who have a bit of the Ol' Sod planted in their hearts and souls, here's an excerpt. ROAMING WITH THE TEACHER MAN
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Frank McCourt By Adrienne Mand For decades, Frank McCourt was an Irish immigrant high school teacher in New York City instructing five classes a day and spending countless hours reading young people's prose. Philosophy, love notes, suicide notes, Romeo and Juliet-type sagas, every emotion - "blather and romantic sentimentality," as he calls it - was represented.
In an effort to cut down on his time grading papers, McCourt would instill in his students the importance of writing with simplicity and clarity. "I worked out a lot of my problems talking to those kids," he recalls, "but I was talking to myself, too. They'd ask about my life and sit there wide-eyed and tell me I should write a book. And I do what I'm told."

Guide Review - Book
A Classic is Born Frank McCourt's fascinating account of his Irish Catholic childhood begins in Brooklyn. The family's stay in America, however, is cut short when an infant sister's death and the depressed job market inspire the McCourts to move back to Ireland. Descriptions of the unsanitary conditions in their Brooklyn home convince the reader that the return to Limerick is a wise one. That is, until we experience the bleak reality of their new life. Told in the unmistakable voice of a mischievous youngster, this story reveals no self-pity. Instead the miserable childhood is described in an enchanting matter 'o fact style, sprinkled with moments that make us laugh out loud. McCourt captures perfectly the innocence of youth and makes us remember how we perceived life when our own world was much smaller.

68. Dan Schneider On Frank McCourt's 'Tis
I finally got around to reading frank mccourt’s 1999 memoir follow up to his 1996 megaselling Angela’ Ashes called ‘Tis- which was the last 1 word chapter
http://www.cosmoetica.com/B164-DES108.htm
‘Tis Review I finally got around to reading Frank McCourt’s 1999 memoir follow up to his 1996 mega-selling Angela’ Ashes called ‘Tis New York City ), from Ireland. Also the same is FM’s relentless faux Irish Bumpkin voice to describe himself. Manifestly an intelligent man it is odd why FM feels a need to show himself in such a light. It goes beyond self-deprecating into the realm of the bizarre, if not masochistic. There are many passages or revelations in ‘Tis with the feel such as ‘ Oh, imagine me, a little bogtrotter, here in the big city- what a thing! ’ While this worked well in AA where FM was a child, in ‘Tis st book one would think that editors would have strengthened the book. The 1 st 2/3s of AA- which deals with FM’s 1 st ‘Tis ‘Tis ’s major flaw is that events seem to occur too quickly, without proper context or meditation on them. The book covers about 36 years- or twice as many as AA- yet some of the better parts of AA were the non- pity me meditations on life. Which brings me to a flaw that twines its way through both books- FM seems to revel in his misery. Not just in his words in these 2 books, but in interviews I’ve seen with him. As I’ve led a life, that I’m memoiring, that by most standards makes FM’s life seem a picnic, I wonder if it’s merely this self-pitying stance which was what touched such a deep chord in so many? If so, I’m in trouble, because my memoirs are a brisk, compelling- yet also meditative- read. Another factor is that ‘Tis - vis-à-vis AA- has less immediate appeal to casual readers, for it does not deal with life or death poverty. Yet, there are characters in this book that are far more appealing- as characters, not persons. In AA too many of the Irish folk descended into stereotypes. It was as if FM felt he needed to appeal to a lowest common denominator to gain mass appeal.

DOCTOR OF LETTERS
FRANK McCOURT Today the Universtiy of Limerick honours Frank McCourt, a writer who has made the city of Limerick famous throughout the world. Angela’s Ashes deals unflinchingly with the poverty, suffering and depression of 1930s and 1940s Limerick and creates from these unpromising materials, a parable of endurance, hope and achievement. “In the little world in which children have their existence” suggests Dickens, “there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt as injustice”. Frank McCourt’s great novel communicates those feelings and perceptions with a powerful clarity of vision. The moral pressure of experienced truths shaped by imaginative form and a rich grasp of the telling phrase have affected a multitude of readers and earned Frank McCourt much deserved praise. The Time Magazine non-fiction Book of the Year, the National Book Critics Circle Award and, most recently, the Pulitzer Prize of Biography are among the official plaudits which Angela’s Ashes has attracted. Each of these accolades testifies to the wide range of readers that the memoir has reached.

Michigan State University June 24, 2007
To Sir with Love (Braithwaite, 1959) and Educating Esme (Codell, 2001) stand among a long line of written narratives in popular culture about outsiders who come into schools and create change. Jaime Escalante in Stand and Deliver (Menendez, 1988) as the computer engineer who pushes low-income Hispanic students to pass the Calculus AP exam, ex-marine Louanne Johnson in Dangerous Minds The Substitute (Mandel, 1996) who cleans up an inner-city school of drug dealers (albeit with guns): each movie suggests that an interesting teacher must be one who, against all odds, battles the forces of the status-quo. Each of these examples, and there are many more, suggest that the life of an ordinary teacher, who struggles to do his or her job each day, does not make for an interesting story. In Teacher Man McCourt, though born in America, spent most of his childhood in Ireland, which he chronicled in

THOSE WHO CAN, TEACH
And those who can't — like George Bush and his fellow politicians — should stay out of the classroom, argues Pulitzer Prize winner FRANK MCCOURT
By Frank McCourt
Imagine a politician daring to enter the professional space of doctors, lawyers, engineers, dentists, interior decorators. Imagine.
The kids are primed well in advance, told this person coming here tomorrow is very, very important, that they better behave themselves and show respect to this very important person who will be reading to them, this person taking time out from a hectic schedule to show his/her interest in education
Politician enters room, acknowledges existence of teacher, limp handshake, faint smile, head nod.
