Brendan Behan's genius was to strike a chord between critic and
common man. When he died, at the age of 41, he was arguably the
most celebrated Irish writer of the twentieth century. After the
Wake is a collection of seven prose works and a series of articles.
It includes all that exists of an unfinished novel, 'The
Catacombs', and pieces together items whose comic and fanciful
accounts evoke Flann O'Brien. Also featured are works of
acknowledged excellence, 'The Confirmation Suit' and 'A Woman of No
Standing'. This writing bears all the hallmarks of the author's
talent - an ability to bring characters to life quickly and
unforgettably, a sharp ear for dialogue and dialect, and a natural
vocation for story-telling. This diverse collection is a delightful
and entertaining windfall from one of Ireland's most colourful
writers. An essential complement to Behan's master works.
