Opis

Brendan Behan -- a Dublin playwright, fiction writer, and poet -- made a deep impression on British theatre during the 1950s. As a young man he made a similar impression on Irish prisons, spending a number of years in them for the cause of Irish republicanism. Throughout his life he continued to enjoy a reputation as a carouser, boozer, and rebel but he was also known for having a generous spirit and being a witty, good-natured spinner of yarns. The letters collected in this volume by E.H. Mikhail show the many sides of this complex man.
