In 'My Island: An Irish Notebook', Brendan Behan offers us an unclassifiable monologue that lies between the travel book, the autobiographical account and the humorous anecdote. Through his words, the author makes a very personal exploration of his native Ireland, complemented by the illustrations of Paul Hogarth. This book forms an inevitable pair with 'My New York', also published by Marbot Ediciones, sharing the style of Hogarth's magnificent pencil illustrations.
Brendan Francis Aidan Behan was an Irish poet, short story writer, novelist, playwright, and Irish Republican, an activist who wrote in both English and Irish. His widely acknowledged alcohol dependence, despite attempts to treat it, impacted his creative capacities and contributed to health and social problems which curtailed his artistic output and finally his life. He is widely regarded as one of Ireland's greatest writers.
