Signed Easton Press Deluxe Edition: Hand-Signed by Frank McCourt (Angela's Ashes)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of modern Irish-American literary history, Pulitzer Prize lore, and fine leather-bound book ephemera: an official Deluxe Collector's Edition of Angela's Ashes: A Memoir, hand-signed on an internal publisher limitation page by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Frank McCourt.
An Irish-American teacher and author, Frank McCourt (1930–2009) achieved global literary acclaim with his poignant 1996 debut memoir Angela's Ashes. Recounting his impoverished childhood in Brooklyn and Limerick, Ireland, the deeply moving narrative earned the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Royal Society of Literature Award, selling millions of copies worldwide and inspiring a 1999 feature film adaptation.
