Rest is fine

nytbanner1An obituary on Monday about the writer Frank McCourt included several errors. A memoir published by his brother Malachy McCourt is titled “Singing My Him Song,” not “Singing Him My Song.” The director of the film adaptation of Mr. McCourt’s memoir “Angela’s Ashes” was Alan Parker, not Robert Parker. And Mr. McCourt’s birth date was Aug. 19, 1930, not Aug. 30, 1930, as it was given in some editions because of an editing error. Link
