Brian Brendon Talbot Cleeve (22 November 1921 â 11 March 2003) was a writer, whose published works include twenty-one novels and over a hundred short stories. He was also a broadcaster on RTÃ television. Son of an Irish father and English mother, he was born and raised in England. He lived in South Africa during the early years of National Party rule and was expelled from the country because of his opposition to apartheid. In his early thirties he moved to Ireland where he lived for the remainder of his life. In late middle age he underwent a profound spiritual experience, which led him to embrace mysticism. He developed a model for the spiritual life based on the principle of obedience to the will of God.
