Remembering the Author of ‘Angela’s Ashes’

Irish Author Frank McCourt died yesterday of cancer in New York City. He was 78. McCourt was best known for his book “Angela’s Ashes,” a memoir about his impoverished Irish childhood, which sold 4-million hardcover copies. The memoir was published in 1996 and won a Pulitzer Prize. Joining us to talk more about McCourt’s influence is New York Times reporter Motoko Rich, who covers the publishing world.
