'Tis follows the author's arrival in America as a young Irish immigrant and charts the slow transformation from manual labour and army duty to study and a life in the classroom. It continues the personal story begun in Angela's Ashes with wry compassion and vivid scenes.
The memoir moves through jobs in New York, military service in Germany, and the hard-won access to higher education at New York University. Teaching and writing emerge as the means by which the narrator builds a new identity and finds purpose.
The writing is direct, funny, and attentive to dialogue; it explores belonging, ambition, and how storytelling reshapes memory and self-understanding.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
