Borstal Boy
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. The book was banned in Ireland for unspecified reasons in 1958; the ban expired in 1970. The book was reissued by David R. Godine in 2000.
