Frank McCourt and his brother Malachi (who's a moderately well-known
stage and screen actor) used to do a sort of off-off-Broadway revue
in which some of the material later used in Angela's Ashes: I
remember the story of the death of one of his brothers, and much more
pleasantly, the story of Frank's first Communion, and how he, in his
excitement, threw up the Body and Blood Of Christ in his
grandmother's side yard...

Teacher Man is actually pretty good, if you eventually get a little
tired of the self-doubt. But for me it's significant because about
half the book (the second half) concerns my high school and my
classmates (I'm not in it...)
