I've not read a word of Frank McCourt's writing, but my wife has always been a huge fan. I heard this interview a few years ago and stopped in a strip mall parking lot to listen to the whole thing because he was so fascinating to hear.
On Point reran it yesterday, so saving me from having to search it out.
Fascinating man, and I loved the former students calling in. Those are among the books I keep intending to pull off the shelf, but I just never do.
Funny you should mention

I've had that damn book kicking around my life as long as I've been blogging with you Tis. I really should have gotten it to you earlier but ce le vie. You have it now - please tell me how you like it. If it's wicked good I may like it back to read myself some day.
OK, you can have it back. I
OK, you can have it back. I am curious to see why it is named that. Mine is not because of the slang for "it is". It is initials but not mine.
I Can Answer That
Dragonfly has a reason for EVERYTHING that she does.
Tis
Ya - that reason was really devious - I wanted to get it out of my life - play it forward - however by doing that I got a very clean copy of Angelas Ashes at the Swap Shop. So who wants it when I'm done?
Which reminds me, DF, I have
Which reminds me, DF, I have that at work, waiting to return to you. Thanks.
