Marking a departure from his familiar memoir form, this Christmas tale - published in editions for both adults and children - revolves around the early years of the eponymous Angela, and her attempts to keep an effigy of the baby Jesus warm. Hosted by Sandip Roy of KALW's UpFront Radio, this conversation is sure to offer insight into one of the master storytellers of our time - Commonwealth Club of California</p> <p>Francis "Frank" McCourt is an Irish-American teacher and author.</p> <p>He received the Pulitzer Prize (1997) and National Book Critics Circle Award (1996) for his memoir Angela's Ashes (1996), which details his childhood as a poor Irish Catholic in Limerick. He is also the author of 'Tis (1999), which continues the narrative of his life, picking up from the end of the previous book and focusing on life as a new immigrant in America. Teacher Man (2005), detailed the challenges of being a young, uncertain teacher who must impart knowledge to his students. His works are often part of the syllabus in high schools. In 2002 he was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Western Ontario.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/23482-frank-mccourt-writing-about-poverty">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/21245-riz-khan-street-talk-11-dec-07 2008-06-13T21:30:45Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eeBFoJ5cdlM&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eeBFoJ5cdlM&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/21245-riz-khan-street-talk-11-dec-07"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/20972" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>On Riz Khan's Street Talk we talked about Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize award, got feedback on yesterday's discussion about Iran and looked at a youth peace camp in Egypt.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/21245-riz-khan-street-talk-11-dec-07">Watch the video</a>
