In Teacher Man, Frank McCourt turns his attention to lectures-teaching: why it's so important, why it's so undervalued. He describes his own coming of age-as a teacher, a storyteller, and, a writer. Using stories of his triumphs, failures, and everything in between, McCourt brings you through his journey to become a teacher. He instinctively identifies with the underdog; his sympathies lie more with students than administrators. It takes him almost fifteen years to find his voice in the classroom, but what's clear in Teacher Man is that from the beginning he seizes and holds his students' attention by telling them memorable stories.
