    You were adorable in "Angela's Ashes" & you still are, Malachy! God bless you & your brother! My younger daughter's name is Angela in honour of "Angela's Ashes".

    malachy's such a sweet man, you can see why all the adults would fall for his charm when he was just a young fella

    Angela's Ashes was the most memorable book I read in my life. It is really nice to see videos of Frank and Malachy McCourt on UA-cam. I feel like I am getting to know the characters from the book better.

    Got to go to Limerick last September for 10 days,stayed in Limerick thought of your brother and family, when we arrived in Shannon. Our Ancestor left Ireland in 1640, Major John Welch. I really loved your brothers books. And the movie, Godbless you and yours✝️💜

    Amazing that Malachy retains much of his Limerick accent, even after spending his entire adult life in America.

    As a youngish Irish man who landed in nyc lately, I feel quite lucky that I somehow randomly came across malachys book swimming monk , I'm no scholar as him but there so much I can relate too, it's something

    It's possible I like Malachy's writing even more that Franks and brother/sister, thats saying something.
    I remebwr enjoying Frank's writing but "the excitement" is rhe only phrase that remains. Inremeber many paragraphs from A Monk Swimming. Damn that was some good writing! It is the memoir by which I judge all other ,(even my wife's).
