What a wonderful experience. I'm 40 years old and stumbled upon Angela's Ashes about six years ago. Still my absolute favorite author of all time.

his writing forced me....no...wait...made me want to look at literature and reading in a completely different light. I became well read after I read Frank mccourt's biography. I was in my thirties. I am now 46 years old and I still cherish his three books and the lessons I've learned from him as a person. the pissy little kid from the lanes of Limerick with the sore eyes, and the scabby knees. god bless ye frankie.

I moved back to Israel and wished to teach here but encountered the most primitive and prejudiced people ever thanks to the education system going diwn the drain and when I found Frank Macourt 's book I found some hope ,i know I need to go towards teaching or learning at first how to ride above the primitive and the prejudiced . what a lovely melodic accent !what a testimony to the human soul !

You put your auld city of Limerick on the map, those that didn't like what you said about the damp city were just sour pusses! I loved Angela's Ashes and you made me laugh and cry all at the same time. It's a gem. RIP

Frank McCourt certainly did live a miserable childhood: useless sodden missing father, pitifully disgraceful mother, and bitter people all around. His 3 books are in my top 10. I re-read them every 3 or 4 years. He’s an inspiration. Thank you, sir.
