Teacher Man

Now the Pulitzer Prize-winning author continues his amazing life story in a magnificent new memoir that glimmers with all the wit, charm and irreverence of his previous bestsellers. As he tells the story of his rocky path to teacherhood, he recalls how he won over a class by eating a student's bologna sandwich, how he turned his students' hilarious excuse notes in an unlikely lesson, how a beautiful young woman broke his hear--and McCourt's passion for storytelling shines through. This is a brilliant look at the coming of age of an unconventional teacher, a gifted storyteller and ultimately a literary superstar.
