Story3
Brendan Behan is widely remembered as a hard-drinking, wise-cracking writer who turned up roaring drunk for interviews and cared little for authority. But he was more than just a hell-raising celebrity. His wit, expressive use of language and understanding of human nature made his writing famous around the world, and his masterpieces The Quare Fellow, Borstal Boy and The Hostage rank among the greatest works of 20th century Irish literature. Dramatisations of all three appear here, alongside a short interview with Behan himself and a fascinating biographical programme celebrating his genius.

Story3
John grew up in an incredibly narcissistic, dysfunctional family on a farm in southeastern North Carolina during the repressive 1960s. This was the model family to the broader community. His parents were considered pillars of society. Yet, this family held many deep, dark secrets governed by family honor, vanity, and pride. The parents' standing in the community was paramount to everything else. No one–no family member, circumstance, event, or situation–was to shame and embarrass them and get in the way of how they ranked and viewed themselves.

Aunt Emilia calls Kamar to reveal shocking news as he is battling his murky past. He has to face the atrociousness of the days gone by to find solace in his present ones. When We Were Boys, Book II starts with Young Kamar being separated from his mentally ill guardian, supposedly for his own good. But even after that, Kamar has yet to know what “good” seems like. He has yet to know what a real and loving family feels like — because all he knew was a dysfunctional and nightmarish one. The one that just might shove you in front of a moving vehicle then leave you for dead.

As the story opens, young Alexander Hamilton marches with the Continentals at Fort Lee, New Jersey. He is frustrated by being relegated to the end of the line and missing out on the action. He desperately wants to make a name for himself. His fortunes soon change at the Raritan River when the vanguard of British infantry catches up to Washington's army.

Blood Pudding renders vividly, at times violently, the raw struggles of the colorful Malinowski family, immigrants from Poland. Gritty, patient, always loving, their son Tad runs a gauntlet of painful and humiliating boyhood cruelties. Above Tad's clear voice, we hear the cold constant heartbeat of a growing industrial city, whose restless yet noble soul surely resides in the lives of these very immigrants.
