Product Description
When Brendan Behan died in 1964 at the age of 41, he had rung the changes in his short life: bomber, gunman, borstal boy, alcoholic and, finally, international literary figure with the success of The Quare Fellow, The Hostage and Borstal Boy.
This is the standard and most acclaimed biography of Behan, one that caused much controversy on publication, primarily over the fact that it gave a full portrayal of Behan's hard drinking life , and ambigious sexuality.
Hardcover, Hamish Hamilton UK, published in 1970. Closed tears to edges of dustjacket, now in a clear plastic removable Herma jacket protector.
