Frank McCourt: Teacher Man
When I heard today that Frank McCourt had died, I remembered that I had recently come across an audiotape of his book, Teacher Man, which is about his 30 years teaching in the New York City public schools before he became an author.
I listened to Angela’s Ashes on audiotape, read by McCourt himself. And I remember that it wasn’t only his words that stirred me; but also his voice–it’s magical.
This audiobook is also read by McCourt– still sealed in its package. And though I recently posted some audiobooks and I don’t normally follow up so soon with something similar, I thought I”d make an exception.
HOW TO WIN: If you would like to have this item, please let me know in a comment. If you know someone else who might like it, I hope you’ll share this and let them know.
Well, I recently won audiobooks here, but I would love to swap those (when I’m done!) with whoever wins this! My daughter is a teacher in an inner city school and I think she would really appreciate this.
Either way, I will be cluttercasting some audiobooks myself, when done!
Thanks again Darryle – cluttercasting is brilliant!
I would love this audiobook and would be even more delighted to swap later with Maria. I grew up in New York City and have many relatives who are teachers.
This would be a wonderful inspiration for me to prepare for next year. I’m a teacher and school has become little more than a test factory for the kids. I need to be inspired! I’ve always wanted to read (or listen) to his books. I have a long commute to school so this would be perfect to play in the car.
