'Tis

by Frank McCourt

McCourt's sequel to Angela's Ashes: arriving in New York at nineteen, odd jobs, the army, becoming a teacher. Less perfect than the first, still funny and true.

Skip it if…

you have not read it.

Try instead: The Beauty of What Remains →

Three things you will actually use

  1. Arrive with nothing and begin.
  2. Education is the ladder.
  3. Humor survives.

Do this first

Read the chapters on the first teaching job.

Our verdict

McCourt in America.
