Borstal Boy is a 1958 autobiographical book by Brendan Behan. The story depicts a young, fervently idealistic Behan, who loses his naïveté over the three years of his sentence to a juvenile borstal, softening his radical Irish republican stance and warming to his British fellow prisoners. From a technical standpoint, the novel is chiefly notable for the art with which it captures the lively dialogue of the Borstal inmates, with a variety of the many subtly distinctive accents of Britain and Ireland intact on the page. Ultimately, Behan demonstrated by his skillful dialogue that working class Irish Catholics and English Protestants actually had more in common with one another through class than they had supposed, and that alleged barriers of religion and ethnicity were merely superficial an

  • Borstal Boy ist ein autobiographischer Entwicklungsroman des irischen Schriftstellers Brendan Behan aus dem Jahr 1958. Er schildert die Zeit, die Behan als junger, idealistischer IRA-Aktivist in britischen Jugendgefängnissen und der Besserungsanstalt Hollesley Bay Borstal verbrachte. Der Ich-Erzähler ändert allmählich seine Sicht auf die Engländer und die Welt, insbesondere aufgrund seiner Liebesbeziehung zu dem englischen Mitgefangenen Charlie. In Irland zunächst verboten, gilt das Werk heute als moderner Klassiker der irischen Literatur und wurde in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt. Die deutsche Übersetzung von Curt Meyer-Clason erschien 1963. (de)
