audio interview related sites main Born in Brooklyn, Frank moved to Ireland at age four with his parents and brothers. As tough as life had been for the McCourt's in New York, it doesn't compare to the hardships they encounter in their native country. Penniless and destitute, the McCourts finnally make it to Limerick where Frank is introduced to a collection of relatives, some as miserly as it is possible to imagine; some, as generous. Frank's father, Malachy, rarely has a job and when he does, spends his wages in the pubs, leaving Frank's mother, Angela, to beg from churches and charity organizations. Despite the tragedy of his drinking, Frank's dad is as charming as a "shiftless l aquacious alcoholic" could be, and he shares a special bond with Frank, revealed through moments of heartrending tenderness. Near death from typhoid fever, Frank spends several months in quarantine in the hospital where he has steady meals, clean sheets, and best of all, books. It is here that he is first introduced to Shakespeare. "I don't know what it means and I don't ca re because it's Shakespeare and it's like having jewels in my mouth when I say the words."

Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt "When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank's mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank's father Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Perhaps it is a story that accounts for Frank's survival. Wearing shoes repaired with tires, begging a pig's head for Christmas dinner, and searching the pubs for his father, Frank endures poverty, near-starvation and the casual cruelty of relatives and neighbors yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance and remarkable forgiveness.

Der amerikanische Ire war 64, als er mit seinem ersten Buch einen Weltbestseller landete. Jetzt, drei Jahre später, legt er die Fortsetzung vor: und siehe da – sie bleibt hinter dem Erstling keineswegs zurück. Ebenso herzzerreißend und ebenso komisch ist die Schilderung seiner Abenteuer, die ihn nach Amerika führen.

till boklistan Frank Mccourt; Ängeln på sjunde trappsteget .- Bonniers, 1996.- ISBN 913451879-7 Att skriva biografier måste vara oerhört svårt! Var dra gränsen mellan vad man kan berätta utan att kränka de människor som beskrivs? Förhoppningsvis är alla de som drabbas i denna biografi för länge sedan döda, men jag kan mycket väl tänka mig några som skulle kunna känna sig påhoppade. Det börjar i USA då Frank är ca 3 år. Eländigt är det, så de får pengar ifrån Angelas (=mamman) mamma i Irland till båtbiljetter över Atlanten. Där fortsätter emellertid eländet och förstärks för varje barn som föds. Pappan är en riktig suput och totalt oansvarig, men väldigt snäll. Snällheten gör det ju också svårt att bli riktigt arg på honom. Men efter ca 2/3 av boken lämnar han på juldagen läsaren och sin familj för gott och knappast något utsägs om honom mera. En dotter föds men dör vid 7 veckor och deras tvillingpojkar dör också vid ca 2 år. Men de resterande fyra pojkarna blir kvar i Limerick och kämpar och är ständigt hungriga. Ibland själ de för att slippa hungern. De bor på olika platser, men på en har de ett markplan där de inte kan vistas om vintern för det regnar in under dörren och hela gatans latrin ligger precis utanför. De flyttar då upp en våning (som de kallar Italien) där de inte ens har tillräckligt med sängar- jag tror de har två att dela på. Frank lyckas få olika ströjobb och börjar spara till en Amerikabiljett. Inte en enda gång slår det honom att anledningen till att de befinner sig i Irland är just att det var för eländigt i USA, men, men... Till slut lyckas han och det hela slutar med att han kommer till USA och blir väl bemött av en glädjeflicka och vi anar att det kommer att gå bra för honom.

35. McCourt, Frank Biography frank mccourt Writer USA/ Ireland Born 19 Aug 1931 'I first started writing,I think, after my first communion, which I made when I was six years old http://www.artsworld.com/books-film/biographies/m-o/frank-mccourt.html

categories='cat1=literature'; Biography Frank McCourt Writer USA/ Ireland Born 19 Aug 1931 'I first started writing, I think, after my first communion, which I made when I was six years old. I didn't really keep a journal or anything like that, but I was always scribbling. And the reason I remember events so vividly is that there was nothing else to do. We weren't encumbered with all kinds of technology - TV and radio and the rest of it - so whatever happened was vivid, whatever happened stayed with us. The landscape was so bare that you remembered everything.' So began Frank McCourt's childhood, initially living in a Brooklyn tenement in New York. In the 1930s, money troubles and the death of Frank's baby sister, Margaret, eventually drove the family back to Ireland, where they settled in his mother's home town of Limerick. Frank McCourt told the tale of those Limerick years in the sad, funny, bittersweet memoir, 'Angela's Ashes', which went on to win the Pulitzer Prize. Frank was the eldest child and the story is told through the young Frankie's eyes. Despite relentless poverty, his mother Angela barely coping as his father Malachy's drinking bouts constantly brought the family to the brink of disaster, the story is told with exuberance and humour. 'I think my father is like the Holy Trinity with three people in him,' comments Frankie. 'The one in the morning with the paper, the one at night with the stories and the prayers, and then the one who does the bad thing and comes home with the smell of whiskey and wants us to die for Ireland.'
