«Mi Nueva York» is Brendan Behan's travel book, published by Marbot Ediciones in paperback (183 pages, in Spanish).
Behan captures his particular and humorous vision of New York through his own and others' anecdotes: taxi drivers, bankers, waiters, Irish and Jewish communities, the price of coats or the quality of beer. The result is an unconventional literary tour of the city, accompanied by drawings by Paul Hogarth.
Work originally published in 1964 as «Brendan Behan's New York». Edition in the Tierra de Nadie collection, with translation by Julio Laví.
For readers interested in travel literature, New York culture and the humor of Irish author Brendan Behan.
Brendan Francis Aidan Behan was an Irish poet, short story writer, novelist, playwright, and Irish Republican, an activist who wrote in both English and Irish. His widely acknowledged alcohol dependence, despite attempts to treat it, impacted his creative capacities and contributed to health and social problems which curtailed his artistic output and finally his life. He is widely regarded as one of Ireland's greatest writers.
