Tis
by Frank McCourt
Description:
Tis is the story of Franks American journey from impoverished immigrant with rotten teeth, infected eyes and no formal education to brilliant raconteur and schoolteacher. Saved first by a straying priest, then by the Democratic party, then by the United States Army, then by New York University which admitted him on a trial basis though he had no high school diploma Frank had the same vulnerable but invincible spirit at nineteen that he had at eight and still has today. And Tis is a tale of survival as vivid, harrowing, and often hilarious as Angelas Ashes. Yet again, it is through the power of storytelling that Frank finds a life for himself. It is only the best storyteller who can so beguile his readers that he leaves them wanting more when hes done McCourt proves himself one of the very best (Newsweek). Tis blesses readers with another chapter of McCourts story, but as it closes, they will want still more.
