Frank McCourt continues his life story in the brilliant, bestselling sequel to the million-selling 'Angela's Ashes'. 'Angela's Ashes' was a publishing phenomenon. Frank McCourt's critically-acclaimed, lyrical memoir of his Limerick childhood won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics' Circle Award, the Royal Society of Literature Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Award amongst others, and rapidly became a word-of-mouth bestseller topping all charts worldwide for over two years. It left readers and critics alike eager to hear more about Frank McCourt's incredible, poignant life. "Tis' is the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant with rotten teeth, infected eyes and no formal education to brilliant raconteur and schoolteacher. Saved first by a straying priest, then by the Democratic party, then by the United States Army, then by New York University -- which admitted him on a trial basis though he had no high school diploma -- Frank had the same vulnerable but invincible spirit at nineteen that he had at eight and still has today. And "Tis' is a tale of survival as vivid, harrowing, and hilarious as Angela's Ashes. Yet again, it is through the power of storytelling that Frank finds a life for himself. 'It is only the best storyteller who can so beguile his readers that he leaves them wanting more when he's done. McCourt proves himself one of the very best' (Newsweek). 'With 'Tis', McCourt blesses his readers with another chapter of his story, but as it closes, they will want still more.

评分原本是把这本书当成关于第一代移民的书来看的,更多关注的是文化宗教的冲突,但读完后发现其实并不尽然。这只是一个人的故事,每个人都是一段传奇,弗兰克讲出来了。我并不喜欢他苦大仇深地叙述着美国人有多不知足,爱尔兰人承受了多少的苦难,大多数人更愿意看到的还是苦难中...

评分地狱,亦是天堂——评《纽约,我来了!》 BY 于杪杪 如果你爱他,请带他去纽约,因为那是天堂;如果你很他,请带他去纽约,因为那是地狱。 这是电视剧《北京人在纽约》里的经典台词。因为纽约是一座多元文化融合的大都市,在这里你可以感受到这个世界上最时尚、最顶尖的一切。...
