The Lilliput Press

A Bit Of A Writer: Brendan Behan’s Collected Short Prose

Editor: John Brannigan

Brendan Behan wrote over 100 articles for Irish newspapers between 1951 and 1956 as he rose to international fame, with most of them written in a weekly column in the Irish Press. The articles reveal a serious writer capable of great comic set pieces and amusing yarns as well as thoughtful reflections on cultural historical issues.  They reflect this passion for working-class Dublin life and the history and folklore of the city, as well as his travels in Ireland and Europe.
