Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Brendan Francis Behan (1923-1964) Irish author noted for his powerful political views and earthy satire. While not in jail or in pubs, Behan worked in odd jobs and wrote plays and stories that colorfully depicted the life of the ordinary working men. Several of his books were banned in Ireland. Behan spent most of the years from 1939 to 1946 in English and Irish penal institutions on political charges. However, his writings are lively, full of humor, and do not show much signs of anger or bitterness toward the world at large. "... it was not really the length of sentence that worried me for I had always believed that if a fellow went into the I.R.A. at all he should be prepared to throw the handle after the hatchet, die dog or shite the licence but that I'd sooner be with Charlie and Ginger and Browny in Borstal than with my own comrades and countrymen any place else. It seemed a bit disloyal to me, that I should prefer to be with boys from English cities than with my own countrymen and comrades from Ireland's hills and glens." (from Borstal Boy Brendan Behan was born in Dublin and lived his childhood in the slums of the city. In spite of the surroundings, he did not end up becoming an unlettered slum lad. He also owed much of his education to his family, well-read, and of strong Republican sympathies. His uncle Peader Kearney was the author of the Irish national anthem, 'Soldier's Song'. Another uncle, P.J. Bourke, managed the Queens Theatre in Dublin, and one of Bourke's sons was the dramatist Seamus de Burca, whose English name is James Bourke. Brendan's brother Dominic became a dramatist, too, and gained also success and a balladeer and singer

'Quite right, ma'am,' says one to another, backing one another up, 'I always say what matter if they are good and pure.' What had that got to do with it, if you had to go into the Chapel in a jersey and pants, and every other kid in a new suit, kid gloves and tan shoes and a scoil cap. The Cowan brothers were terrified. They were twins, and twelve years old, and every one in the street seemed to be wishing a jersey and pants on them, and saying their poor mother couldn't be expected to do for two in the one year, and she ought to go down to Sister Monica and tell her to put one back. If it came to that, the Cowans agreed to fight it out, at the back of the brewery wall, whoever got best, the other would be put back.

His alcoholism, exuberance, and profanity perhaps offended the sensibilities of a modernizing, middle-class Ireland, eager to show the world the signs of its maturity and respectability. His writings, moreover, were also deeply contentious, and interrogated Ireland for its varieties of cultural identities and its recalcitrant strands of irreverence. Behan's writings began with imitations of nationalist ballads, but increasingly came to articulate dissident and subaltern perspectives on the nationalist state and its ideological foundations. His belated engagements with revival nationalism sought to disentangle the myths of Irishness fostered in the cultural nationalist hegemony of his time, and to remind Ireland of its variety, its hybridity, and its modernity. In so doing, Behan became a controversial beacon of dissidence and criticism for his own and later generations.
