Frank McCourt's glorious childhood memoir, Angela's Ashes , has been loved and celebrated by listeners everywhere for its spirit, its wit and its profound humanity. 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 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 revisiting 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 blond, 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 listeners in Angela's Ashes comes of age.

评分读到母亲安琪拉年迈独居,寂寞时坐在繁华的街市,和一个流浪的女人说话,带她回家,安排她食宿,落下泪来。 这个细节在厚厚的一本小说中非常不起眼,甚至和弗兰克奋斗纽约,实现美国梦的主线有些脱离,但却深深地印在了心里?我想我是真的感受到了作者的真诚。真诚,是整部安琪...
评分Re-reading it......as always, I'd like you to read whatever I like. Yes,'...it's very hard going through life not saying what comes to your tongue.' '"I'm trying to reduce the body to bare necessity. The world is too much with me. Know what I mean? Too m...
