A full-dress recounting of the short, unhappy life of the great Irish playwright and political radical, this biography includes material drawn from previously unknown letters Behan wrote while he was in prison. The book also focuses on Behan's artistic friendships with Patrick Kavanagh, J.P. Donleavy, and others, and it takes a hard look at the misery of Behan's last years, when he was diabetic, alcoholic, often comatose, and frequently unbearable.
