　　Nearly a decade ago Frank McCourt became an unlikely star when, at the age of sixty-six, he burst onto the literary scene with Angela's Ashes, the Pulitzer Prize -- winning memoir of his childhood in Limerick, Ireland. Then came 'Tis, his glorious account of his early years in New York.
　　
　　Now, here at last, is McCourt's long-awaited book about how his thirty-year teaching career shaped his second act as a writer. Teacher Man is also an urgent tribute to teachers everywhere. In bold and spirited prose featuring his irreverent wit and heartbreaking honesty, McCourt records the trials, triumphs and surprises he faces in public high schools around New York City. His methods anything but conventional, McCourt creates a lasting impact on his students through imaginative assignments (he instructs one class to write "An Excuse Note from Adam or Eve to God"), singalongs (featuring recipe ingredients as lyrics), and field trips (imagine taking twenty-nine rowdy girls to a movie in Times Square!).
　　
　　McCourt struggles to find his way in the classroom and spends his evenings drinking with writers and dreaming of one day putting his own story to paper. Teacher Man shows McCourt developing his unparalleled ability to tell a great story as, five days a week, five periods per day, he works to gain the attention and respect of unruly, hormonally charged or indifferent adolescents. McCourt's rocky marriage, his failed attempt to get a Ph.D. at Trinity College, Dublin, and his repeated firings due to his propensity to talk back to his superiors ironically lead him to New York's most prestigious school, Stuyvesant High School, where he finally finds a place and a voice. "Doggedness," he says, is "not as glamorous as ambition or talent or intellect or charm, but still the one thing that got me through the days and nights."
　　
　　For McCourt, storytelling itself is the source of salvation, and in Teacher Man the journey to redemption -- and literary fame -- is an exhilarating adventure.

讲台人生：一本写给所有“教书匠”的书
南桥

最近在看Frank McCourt的《教书匠》（Teacher Man）。国内有些介绍中将此书书名译为《为人师表》，属点金成铁。作者文笔轻松，举重若轻，喜自嘲，将书名译成《教书匠》更为传神，也更形似。再现爱尔兰风采作者弗兰克•麦考特(Frank McCourt)是个移民美国的爱尔兰作家，单是这一点就可以是...... (52回应)

请假条文学
南桥

我新招的一个学生助手不来上班，最后她还反过来告我状，说每次到我办公室来，门都打不开。这种低级借口简直是侮辱我的智慧。几个月前，还有个学生助手打电话告诉我：“南桥，我开车轧到了一只蜗牛，车胎给轧爆了，所以无法来上班。”我当时还纳闷，什么蜗牛这么刚烈，死前还不忘把车胎给轧爆？难道此蜗牛是基地组织成员？别看美国人常常...... (43回应)

Teacher man

书名的缘起是这样的。Frank McCourt的教育生涯是在纽约的一间职业中学里开始，其情况，看来和我们记忆中的职业先修学校没有分别。他们的学生用他们的言语称呼他们的老师，不论他们姓甚么，都是这样称呼：Teacher man, what we gonna do？ McCourt的第一课是这样开始的。学生走入他的课...... (2回应)
