Summary/Abstract: The focus of the article is the mixture of tragedy and comedy in Frank McCourt’s childhood memoir. It aims at proving that tragic events and humorous ones coexist. Although the novel concentrates on the author’s terrible early life in Limerick, it also reveals Frank McCourt’s sparkling sense of humour, most of which is illustrated in language.
