Teacher man

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling author of Angela's Ashes and Tis comes this wonderfully engaging book about teaching and storytelling, the subjects closest to Frank McCourt's heart. In Teacher Man Frank turns his attention to the subject that he most often talks about in his lectures - teaching: why it's so important, why it's so undervalued. He describes his own coming of age as a teacher; a storyteller and, ultimately, a writer. He is alternately humble and mischievous, down-trodden and rebellious. It takes him almost fifteen years to find his voice in the classroom, but what's clear in Teacher Man is that from the beginning he held his students' attention by telling them memorable stories.
