Teacher Man book discussion

Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Frank McCourt, author of Angela’s Ashes and ‘Tis, reminisces about his 30-year teaching career as a high school English teacher in New York City in his memoir Teacher Man. McCourt throws down the gauntlet on education, asserting that teaching is more than achieving high test scores. It’s about educating, about forming intellects, about getting people to think.

“Teacher Man is an irresistible valedictory about a man finding his voice in the classroom, on the page and in his soul.” The New York Times Book Review
