The immigration man read my deportation order, looked at it and handed it back to me. 'Are you Irish?' he asked me. 'No' I said 'as a matter of fact, I'm Yemenite Arab.' Two detectives came forward who were evidently there to meet me. 'Apparently he is Brendan Behan,' they said. The immigration officer shook my hand and his hard face softened. 'Cead mile failte romhat abhaile.' (A hundred thousand welcomes home to you.) I could not answer. There are no words and it would be impertinence to try. I walked down the gangway. I was free. First published after Brendan Behan's tragic death, Confessions of an Irish Rebel picks up where Borstal Boy left off.

Behan’s autobiography that basically covers his adult years, after Borstal Boy. This has a lot of wit and flashes of brilliance. “Like Sean O’Casey, the greatest playwright living in my opinion, my family’s land was all in window-boxes.” “I have a sense of humour that would nearly cause me to laugh at a funeral, providing it wasn’t my own.” “Nothing of any consequence happened on our way to the border apart from a few little shootings here and there.”

This isn’t as coherent as Borstal Boy and actually devolves late into a series of anecdotes, like stories told over a few pints in a pub. ( )

Brendan Behan è un irlandese. E nelle sue confessioni ci sta tutto il fascino di una nazione e di un popolo che fa della sua storia, una storia, diversa, del mondo. La verde Irlanda, la bella Irlanda, il cielo d’Irlanda, i pub di Dublino e quelli delle contee del Nord, l’Irlanda di Joyce, di Swift, di Shaw, di Yeats. L’Irlanda delle ballate, degli gnomi, terra fatata; l’Irlanda della Guinness e l’Irlanda del whiskey, quello con la e, completamente diverso da quello scozzese. E poi gli irlandesi, bevitori per eccellenza, feste e balli, partire per emigrare, carestie e suore; e, sopratutto, sull’isola di fronte, un nemico da combattere, da sempre, da Cromwell in poi, in nome di una religione, o di un’altra, l’Irlanda occupata, l’Irlanda divisa. Brendan Behan è stato un irlandese e nella sua biografia c’è tutta la cultura e lo spirito del popolo irlandese. Irriverente, profondo, fuori dagli schemi, ma frutto di un modo di vivere e di approcciare la vita che deriva da secoli di lotte e di fame, per un Paese del nord abitato da un popolo meridionale. ( )
