Teacher Man - McCourt, Frank 0.30kg

Frank McCourt arrived in New York as a young, impoverished and idealistic Irish boy — but one who crucially had an American passport, having been born in Brooklyn. He didn't know what he wanted except to stop being hungry and to better himself. On the subway he watched students carrying books. He saw how they read and underlined and wrote things in the margin and he liked the look of this very much. He joined the New York Public Library and every night when he came back from his hotel work he would sit up reading the great novels.
