A #1 New York Times bestseller and the eagerly anticipated sequel to the Pulitzer Prizeโwinning Angelaโs Ashes, this masterpiece from Frank McCourt tells of his American journey from impoverished immigrant to brilliant teacher and raconteur.
Frank McCourtโs glorious childhood memoir, Angelaโs 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 โTis, the story of Frankโs 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 โclassless country,โ and then is drafted into the army and is sent to Germany to train dogs and type reports. It is Frankโs incomparable voiceโhis uncanny humor and his astonishing ear for dialogueโthat 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 โstick to their own kindโ 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 teachโand to writeโthat Frank finds his place in the world. The same vulnerable but invincible spirit that captured the hearts of readers in Angelaโs Ashes comes of age.
As Malcolm Jones said in his Newsweek review of Angelaโs Ashes, โIt 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.โ Frank McCourt's โTis is one of the most eagerly awaited books of our time, and it is a masterpiece.
