[In Memoriam] Frank McCourt (19.8.1930 – 19.7.2009)

„Frank McCourt’s book ["Angelas Ashes"] is deeply moving, for his searing story is true. No one has ever written about poverty or childhood like this. That Frank McCourt lives to tell the tale is amazing. That he could create out of such squalor and misery a flawless masterpiece is nothing short of miraculous.“ (Pulitzer Homepage)
