Just in time for Saint Patrick's Day! Alphie McCourt, author of the convivial memoir A Long Stone's Throw and youngest brother of Frank McCourt (Angela's Ashes), releases his reminiscences of the beloved holiday. This story, written and read by the author, strings together retellings of a few of the expatriate Irishman's most memorable Saint Patrick's days here in the USA. In his cordial brogue, Alphie relates the history of the Catholic feast day, and moves candidly, with great warmth and self-deprecation, onward through the past few decades to relate his personal, hilarious highlights of the day when everyone loves to become Irish in the wearing o' the green.

Alphie McCourt grew up in Limerick, Ireland, and immigrated to the U.S in 1959. Since, he has lived in Canada, California, and New York, and has spent a good part of his life in the restaurant and bar business. His writings have appeared in the Washington Post, the Villager (New York), the Limerick Leader, and in Icons magazine.
