Lyndon Johnson's wife was named Claudia Alta Taylor. "Ladybird" was a nickname she'd had since childhood. Sometimes her husband shortened it to "Bird." But a lot of people thought her name really was "Ladybird."
당신을 알게 되어 제겐 책을 읽는 즐거움을 다시 갖게 되었답니다. 그 힘든 시절에 살아남게 되어 정말 고맙습니다. 하늘에서 당신의 책을 읽는 한국인이 있음을 보고 있나요?
I found your story and got plenty of happiness in your books. I appreciate your survival with your brothers in a miserable childhood. Can you see me in heaven? Rest in peace. I love all your books.
I'm reading Frank's book, "Un jeune prof á New York" at the moment.
It's a very funny, well translated account of his whimsical memoir as a young "Teacher man", retelling his personal life and observations.
Wonderful just wonderful
Did my ICT module making a movie about Frank McCourt, got an A. RIP Frank, loved your book and remembered when they filmed the movie in Limerick with fond memories, seeing Limerick transformed into the past.
The audience questions are statements, not questions.
After all the years you can still hear Limerick. Your books flow sweetly and sadly like the Shannon. You are missed Frank..
He sure is.
Such an amazing introduction espousing all that's great about Ireland and the Irish and then he reads an excerpt from the first paragraph of Angela's Ashes which shits all over the Ireland that Frank experienced as a boy before he left for the States. That's the Ireland I know and love, we know it's far from perfect but we don't delude ourselves into thinking we are a utopia. Of course there are small minded people who disagree with Frank McCourt's version of Ireland but thankfully they're in the minority and we quietly pity them.
all very true.teaching is more than knowledge
It's interesting that he referred to how he became "very Irish" in New York.
A woman thinks the canaries story is hilarious. mothering brutes.
Great writer.
Probably for the best Gerry didn't show up again.
