Poems and a Play in Irish.Brendan Behan.
Dublin: Gallery Books, 1981.
This is one of the earliest plays in the Irish language. Known for his IRA involvement, his love of the drink, and his embodiment of Irish culture in almost every way, Behan learned Irish from O Cadhain, and wrote many of his plays while in jail. Although this text contains only the Irish text, English translations are available in the Kelly Library, and the fact it was written in English first and that Behan’s knowledge of Irish is not as advanced as some other authors make it a viable read for Intermediate-level Irish speakers.
