Jag älskar hans humor och hans bitande sarkasmer. Gärna läser jag också hans små berättelser från Dublin och New York ("Brendan Behan's Dublin" och Brendan Behan's New York")

Här två skrönor som jag hämtat från Wikipedia:
-
There are two stories associated with him -One states that he was visiting Canada and he was asked by a reporter "Why did you visit Canada, Mr Behan". To which Behan is supposed to have replied "I saw a picture at the Airport saying "Drink Canada Dry" so I thought I'd come here and try". The second story states that he would write a slogan for Guinness if he was given a crate of Guinness a week. The crates were duly delivered and after a couple of months he phoned up the Guinness office and says "I've got a slogan for you - "Guinness makes you drunk""

Brendan Behans grav finns på den stora kyrkogården "Glasnevin Cemetary" i Dublin. Där vilar också många andra berömda irländare- Parnell, O'Connell, Michael Collins....
