Winner of the 2007 Audie Award for Biography/Memoir and Finalist for Narration by the Author

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning, mega-bestselling author of Angela’s Ashes comes a magnificently appealing memoir about teaching and about how one great storyteller found his voice.

Frank McCourt became an unlikely star when, at the age of sixty-six, he burst onto the literary scene with Angela's Ashes, the Pulitzer Prize–winning memoir of his childhood in Limerick, Ireland. Then came 'Tis, his glorious account of his early years in New York.

Now, here at last is McCourt's long-awaited book about how his thirty-year teaching career in New York City public high schools shaped his second act as a writer. Teacher Man is also an urgent tribute to teachers everywhere. In bold and spirited prose featuring his irreverent wit and compelling honesty, McCourt records the trials, triumphs and surprises he faced in the classroom. Teacher Man shows McCourt developing his unparalleled ability to tell a great story as, five days a week, five periods per day, he worked to gain the attention and respect of unruly, hormonally charged or indifferent adolescents.

For McCourt, storytelling itself is the source of salvation, and in Teacher Man the journey to redemption—and literary fame—is an exhilarating adventure. Art et littérature Auteurs Professionnels et universitaires Éducateurs Éducation Spirituel

Ce que les critiques en disent

"McCourt sings, we weep. He speaks, we are transported. The six-hour audiobook is riveting. The production shows exactly how recording can enliven and enhance a text."
-- The Christian Science Monitor on Angela's Ashes

I can feel the emotion, the angst. I am sad it's his last book! RIP Mr. McCourt, thank you for sharing.💙

amazing story, great delivery.

I love Frank’s humour and love the way he says miserable. Like the word was invented for poor Catholics from Ireland. Beyond his humour, there is so much suffering and torment that comes through Frank’s writing. If someone asked me what this book was about. I could say it in 1 sentence as you won’t remember the way he says the rest of it, but you can hear him rant all day.
I would encourage Frank to keep writing and perhaps shock people with a book totally unrelated to suffering. I am for sure richer for having read his books. So thanks Frank.

I could listen to Frank McCourt tell me a story all day long.

Shorter than his other books, it tells a few nice stories about his time as a teacher and I can assume, the influence he had on so many students.

he reminds me of my own English teacher, who used to sit on the desk and tell his stories of growing up, and then somehow we'd be learning a lesson, you knew you had been tricked into learning, but you were happy about the class.

Not as tragic as Angela's Ashes or T'is, but still told in such a beautifully descriptive tone. I wish he had more books.
