Frank McCourt's glorious childhood memoir, Angela's Ashes, has been loved and celebrated by readers everywhere for its spirit, its wit and its profound humanity. A tale of redemption, in which storytelling itself is the source of salvation, it won the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Rarely has a book so swiftly found its place on the literary landscape. 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 age 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 resisting 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 blonde, 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 readers in Angela's Ashes comes of age. As Malcolm Jones said in his Newsweek review of Angela's Ashes, "It is only the best storyteller who can so beguile his readers that he leaves them wanting more when he is done...and McCourt proves himself one of the very best." Frank McCourt's 'Tis is one of the most eagerly awaited books of our time, and it is a masterpiece.

I finished both of the memoirs. While I understand I cannot expect the writer to be a saint or a perfect person, at times it was quite hard to make me understand why he chose to keep drinking even though he endured so much as a kid having an alcoholic dad. You would think he should understand how harmful excessive drinking is to a family. The only "comforting fact" is he still held a stable job so he was a slightly better version of his dad.(SPOILERS ALERT) Also, I couldn't understand why he felt so entitled to mooching off electricity from his room-mate. Yes his room-mate might be a weirdo, it doesn't justify the fact of you making him to "share" the electricity for months. Saying it only costs his roommate merely a few cents a day, implies he is stingy definitely ticks me off (Had he ever thought maybe he should drink less then he could afford his own electricity?) Like I said, I understand I cannot be too judgmental to a writer being perfect but he obviously had some personal issues. I struggled to finish the book at times as he was quite unlikable but I did it at last. Overall the first book was a better read than this.
