Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback 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 polemical fervour. "... 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 become an unlettered slum lad, but had an alert and incisive mind. His family on both sides was traditionally anti-British. At Behan's birth, his father was in a British compound because of involvement in the Irish uprising of 1916-1922. Behan attended Catholic schools. He also owed much of his education to his family, well-read, and of strong Republican sympathies. Behan left school at the age of 14 and worked as a house painter. From the age of nine he had served in a youth organization connected with the IRA, and in the late 1930s he was IRA's messenger boy.

Brendan Behan Biography Brendan Behan , the Irish playwright and author, was born in Dublin on 9 February 1923 He left school at the age of 13 and had many jobs. At that time, he joined the Irish Republican Army , which was outlawed. Behan spent much of the 1940s in reform school and prison Having been convicted of carrying explosives in 1939 in Liverpool, he was sentenced to a "Borstal", i.e. a boys prison, for eighteen months , and there he began writing. Later on he was sentenced to fourteen years for shooting at a policeman. His observations of prison life became the stuff for "The Quare Fellow", a play about the hours preceding a hanging. It was produced first in the Pike Theatre in Dublin, then, in 1956, in London. "The play was a statement on the condition of the outcast and the emotions excited by barbaric revenge, rather than a piece of anti-capital-punishment propaganda" (MS Encarta). "The Hostage" was even more successful. Set in an Irish brothel, it was staged in Dublin in 1958. Behan's plays are marked by the use of "earthy dialogue and trenchant humour"

'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.
