Description

Brendan Behan's prose works showcase his unique ability to strike a chord between critic and common man. This collection, published in 1981, brings together seven prose pieces and articles that demonstrate the author's talent for storytelling. The diverse selection includes an unfinished novel, 'The Catacombs', alongside comic and fanciful accounts reminiscent of Flann O'Brien, as well as acknowledged works like 'The Confirmation Suit' and 'A Woman of No Standing'. Behan's writing is characterised by his ability to bring characters to life quickly and unforgettably, with a sharp ear for dialogue and dialect. This collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the work of one of Ireland's most colourful writers, providing an essential complement to Behan's master works.
