Product Information

Frank McCourt's glorious childhood memoir,Angela's Ashes,has been loved and celebrated by readers everywhere for its spirit, its wit and its profound humanity. A tale of redemption, in which storytelling itself is the source of salvation, it won the National Book Critics Circle Award, theLos Angeles TimesBook Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Rarely has a book so swiftly found its place on the literary landscape.And now we have'Tis,the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant to brilliant teacher and raconteur. Frank lands in New York at age nineteen, in the company of a priest he meets on the boat. He gets a job at the Biltmore Hotel, where he immediately encounters the vivid hierarchies of this "classless country," and then is drafted into the army and is sent to Germany to train dogs and type reports. It is Frank's incomparable voice -- his uncanny humor and his astonishing ear for dialogue -- that renders these experiences spellbinding.When Frank returns to America in 1953, he works on the docks, always resisting what everyone tells him, that men and women who have dreamed and toiled for years to get to America should "stick to their own kind" once they arrive. Somehow, Frank knows that he should be getting an education, and though he left school at fourteen, he talks his way into New York University. There, he falls in love with the quintessential Yankee, long-legged and blonde, and tries to live his dream. But it is not until he starts to teach -- and to write -- that Frank finds his place in the world. The same vulnerable but invincible spirit that captured the hearts of readers inAngela's Ashescomes of age.As Malcolm Jones said in hisNewsweekreview ofAngela's Ashes,"It is only the best storyteller who can so beguile his readers that he leaves them wanting more when he is done...and McCourt proves himself one of the very best." Frank McCourt's'Tisis one of the most eagerly awaited books of our time, and it is a masterpiece.

I absolutely love this slipcover! Nineteen years ago I purchased an almost identical slipcover from LL Bean. The material is substantial and wears like it's iron coated however my purchase finally wore to thread bare condition. I looked everywhere for a replacement and after a few years I struck gold on your Ebay site. It was delivered in great condition and in a timely manner. Thanks so much!

  • Unknown: Underrated

    Frank McCourt has a style of writing that lets you imagine that you are actually watching it as a video. "He said" and the usual phrases do not occur. Sentence structure, language, and run-on sentences make Mr. McCourt my favorite author. The tragedies, personalities, and humor are commendably presented to the reader. I happen to find Ashley's Ashes in a free-book stand. I had heard of it but as I read it I wondered at my ignorance of Mr. McCourt's existence. Perhaps we readers are "herded" by book companies via their ads too often. A highly underrated author and person.
