Frank McCourt retired after thirty years of teaching in New York City's public schools to write his autobiography, Angela's Ashes. The memoir remained at the top of the New York Times bestseller list for more than two years, won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography and was selected by both Time and Newsweek as the number one nonfiction book of the year. The book's sequel, Tis, also became a New York Times bestseller. McCourt is the author of two stage pieces and has just completed his new memoir, Teacher Man.
