Quare Memory in Brendan Behan's Borstal Boy
Original language description
This essay adapts David Cregan's concept of 'queer memory' - a form of memory defined 'by exclusion rather than inclusion' - to the author of The Quare Fellow, analysing narrative gaps in Brendan Behan's Borstal Boy in order to better understand its construction of cultural memory. Situating Borstal Boy within a growing canon of Irish writing on coercive confinement, the essay contends that draft versions act as an important component of textual memory, as can be seen by the more explicit portrayal of queer sexuality in Behan's drafts. Both in its transgressive portrayal of queer masculinity, and in the 'quare' narrative strategies used to incorporate this material into the published text, Borstal Boy presents an author whose 'quareness' is a key part of his literary aesthetic.
