born Feb. 9, 1923, Dublin, Ire.
died March 20, 1964, Dublin

Irish author.

An alcoholic from age eight and an anti-English rebel, he was repeatedly arrested. Borstal Boy (1958) is an account of his detention in an English reform school, which combines earthy satire and powerful political commentary. His first play, The Quare Fellow (1954), is an explosive statement on capital punishment and prison life. His second, The Hostage (produced 1958), is considered his masterwork. He also wrote poetry, short stories, Radio scripts, anecdotes, memoirs, and a novel.
