Frank McCourt

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! As I was mulling over all of the Irish or Irish-Amerian people I've interviewed through the years, one name kept coming to the forefront: Frank McCourt. McCourt burst onto the literary scene in 1996, wth his memoir of his early childhood, a powerful book called Angela's Ashes. It also became an award-winning movie. He followed that up with volume two of his memoirs, a book called 'Tts/. Then, in 2005, the third volume, a book called Teacher Man. And that's when I met him.
