Frank McCourt

Sad news that Frank McCourt has died. Dani Shapiro's post today is a lovely tribute to the gifted author and his generosity of spirit.

Dani's a beautiful writer. Check out her books and her blog when you get a chance.

I had the pleasure of hearing Frank McCourt speak at the Montgomery County Community College Writer's Conference in PA in 2007. He was an engaging speaker, and answered my question with humor and grace. I imagine everyone in that room shares my sentiment of being glad they once had the chance to share a few hours with him.

Lucky you! Been thinking of rereading Angela's Ashes to hear his voice again.
