520			_aFrank McCourt's glorious childhood memoir, "Angela's Ashes," has been loved and celebrated by readers everywhere for its spirit, its wit and its profound humanity. A tale of redemption, in which storytelling itself is the source of salvation, it won the National Book Critics Circle Award, the "Los Angeles Times" Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Rarely has a book so swiftly found its place on the literary landscape. And now we have "'Tis," the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant to brilliant teacher and raconteur. The same vulnerable but invincible spirit that captured the hearts of readers in "Angela's Ashes" comes of age. As Malcolm Jones said in his "Newsweek" review of "Angela's Ashes," "It is only the best storyteller who can so beguile his readers that he leaves them wanting more when he is done...and McCourt proves himself one of the very best." Frank McCourt's "'Tis" is one of the most eagerly awaited books of our time, and it is a masterpiece.
