5.0 out of 5 stars Perceptive, Honest and Well Written., 28 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Brendan Behan: A Life (Hardcover)
The particular achievement of this fine book, is to extractBrendan Behan from the mire of mythology in which he has been so firmly placed since his death in 1964 at the age of 41. No easy task for any author given Behan's own willful contribution to the process. It deals fairly and honestly with Behan's homosexual leanings and does so in a non judgemental way using the evidence available rather than mere speculation. It is perceptive and the writing is as, Jack Helbig describes it in Booklist, 'graceful and forceful'. Behan was long over due such a biography.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Weak Effort, 31 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Brendan Behan: A Life (Hardcover)
Brendan Behan was no literary giant, but he deserves better than this -- poorly and pompously written, indifferently edited, riddled with factual errors (outrageous, considering the research), and lacking in perception and depth. In addition, the author's obsession with Behan's supposed homosexuality is wearisome. Behan isn't important enough to be on the receiving end of a top-flight definitive biography, but it's too damned bad that this is as close as he'll come.
