A third memoir from the author of the huge international bestsellers Angelas Ashes & Tis. In Teacher Man Frank Mc Court details his illustrious amusing & sometimes rather bumpy long years as an English teacher in the public high schools of New York City... Frank Mc Court arrived in New York as a young impoverished & idealistic Irish boy
- but one who crucially had an American passport having been born in Brooklyn. He didnt know what he wanted except to stop being hungry & to better himself. On the subway he watched students carrying books. He saw how they read & underlined & wrote things in the margin & he liked the look of this very much. He joined the New York Public Library & every night when he came back from his hotel work he would sit up reading the great novels. Building his confidence & his determination he talked his way into NYU & gained a literature degree & so began a teaching career that was to last 30 years working in New Yorks public high schools. Frank estimates that he probably taught 12 000 children during this time & it is on this relationship between teacher & student that he reflects in Teacher Man the third in his series of memoirs. The New York high school is a restless noisy & unpredictable place & Frank believes that it was his attempts to control & cajole these thousands of children into learning & achieving something for themselves that turned him into a writer. At least once a day someone would put up their hand & shout Mr. Mc Court Mr. Mc Court tell us about Ireland tell us about how poor you were.. . Through sharing his own life with these kids he learnt the power of narrative storytelling & out of the invaluable experience of holding 12 000 peoples attention came Angelas Ashes. Frank Mc Court was a legend in such schools as Stuyvesant High School
- long before he became the figure he is now he would receive letters from former students telling him how much his teaching influenced & inspired them
- & now in Teacher Man he shares his reminiscences of those 30 years & reveals how they led to his own success with Angelas Ashes & Tis."
