Damn Good Book

I've read reviews that say 'Borstal Boy' is a better book- but this is a hysterical, random set of stories about Behan's years before he became a literary entity, but after he left prison. There's some great stuff about Camus, the two were friends in Paris. Highly recomended, especially if you liked his other stuff- this is a bit more acidic than 'Borstal Boy', but much funnier and a hell of a lot more acidic. He was a good man, the Irish equal of Dylan Thomas.
