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.

Tuberculosis Summary This absorbing, sad, humorous evocation of an impoverished Irish Catholic childhood describes the first nineteen years of Frank McCourt's lifefrom his birth in Brooklyn, New York; through the family's emigration four years later to his mother's roots in the slums of Limerick, Irelandand ends with McCourt's return migration to America, a young man on his own. McCourt sets the scene in his first lines: "When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. . . the poverty; the shiftless loquacious alcoholic father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests; bullying schoolmasters . . . . " Born during the Great Depression, the author leads us in lilting present-tense narrative through the struggle and occasional small joys of daily life with siblings, school friends, and the adults who circumscribe his life. He is an alien in his parental homeland, the oldest child of a father whose background in "the North" engenders continual suspicion, and a mother (Angela of the book's title) who had never known her father and whose own mother is as miserly with her affections as with offers of economic assistance.

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."

37. The Limerick Of Angela's Ashes - I Inspired by frank mccourt's book Angela's Ashes , a guided tour through the city's streets and lanes to relive the memoirs. http://homepages.iol.ie/~avondoyl/angelas1.htm

The Limerick of Angela's Ashes - Part 1 Last updated 12-OCT-2001 Start of Tour First Homes Roden Street First Jobs City Centre ... Farewell F rank McCourt's book Angela's Ashes is a fascinating read and drew me into the social history of the Limerick which existed just before my childhood. As our home is on the side of Limerick depicted in Frank's book I cycled and walked the roads and lanes of his memoirs and found it most interesting to talk to the people who grew up there during that time.... Here on the right we see Frank and his brother Malachy at Frank's conferring with an honorary Doctorate of Letters at the University of Limerick in October 1997. Photo courtesy of Limerick Leader Newspapers Ltd. Frank's book is a celebration of life despite a childhood of abject poverty. Indeed my own recollections of the poverty I observed in Dublin in the fifties lend credence to the harrowing scenes described in his book. So I have put these pages together to give the reader an opportunity to experience for themselves the locale in which Frank spent most of his childhood. It is presented in the form of a tour setting out from the Railway Station, and I will try to follow the course of Frank's memoir in this tour. I have prepared a map of Limerick which highlights many of the locations mentioned in the book. The following link opens the map in a separate window, so that you can keep it available while you browse through the text pages. The map is a GIF file of 33K in size so it may take a few seconds to load. Some browsers place the new window directly over the current one, so you may have to drag the new map-window a little to one side in order to be able to see this window. You can
