McCourt, Malachy creator text New York, NY Harper Collins 2000 monographic eng 242 p. Malachy McCourt grew up amid death, squalor, poverty, and abuse in the lanes of Limerick, Ireland. When he came to America as a young man, he brought a gargantuan appetite for what life had to offer - and an equal drive to forget what had happened to him thus far. In Singing my him song, McCourt tells us how he went from living the headlong and heedless life of a world-class drunk to becoming a sober, loving father and grandfather, still happily married after thirty-five years. We meet the woman who stood by his side all those years, watch as they build a family together, and listen as McCourt pursues a career of surprising successes and comic missteps. Brawdy and funny, naked and moving, Malachy McCourt's Singing my him song tell as honest and entertaining a story as anyone could hope for Malachy McCourt.
