The distinctly British flavor of pre-World War II Bermuda provided in him a lifelong appreciation of English custom and culture, which would later inspire such works as Godric and Brendan. Buechner also frequently mentions Bermuda in his memoirs, including Telling Secrets and The Sacred Journey.

A cave painting in Zaire depicts Kasiya Maliro, a type of Nyau mask that may date to 992 CE. The Nyau cosmology continued during the time of the Ngoni invasions in the mid-1800s and during the time of early colonists including Portuguese and British. According to local mythologies Nyau came from Malomba, a place in what is now the DRC. Due to heavy punishment for telling secrets to non-initiates about the Nyau cosmology (e.g. who are the men dancing) the origin of Nyau could not be clarified by the first missionaries and colonialists arriving in Maravi.

Brendan was written by Buechner seven years after the publication of his tenth novel, Godric. In the intervening years Buechner had published several memoirs, including The Sacred Journey (1982) and Now and Then (1983). The author’s return to fiction writing, and the world of medieval Europe, was, he recalls, partly inspired by his own spiritual experiences. In his autobiographical work, Telling Secrets, Buechner describes attending St Barnabas Church in Glen Ellyn IL, while guest lecturing at Wheaton in the Fall term of 1985. The author remembers being particularly struck by the preaching of the rector, Robert MacFarlane: ‘He spoke very quietly, and the church he spoke in was not brilliantly lit but full of shadow, full of secrets’.

A common theme with many of his previous characters, Buechner describes a close connection that he felt between himself and ‘Brendan the Navigator’: > He was a haggard sort of man as I pictured him, in many of the ways that I > also am haggard, a loose-footed sort of a red-headed, inhibited, nimble- > tongued, miracle-working man. He may have sailed as far as Newfoundland in > his wanderings, maybe even as far as Florida some believe, but he never > found what he was after, needless to say, and at the end of his long life > somewhere around the year 580 wondered if perhaps he had spent all those > years on a wild goose chase when he might better have stayed home and looked > for Christlier ways to serve Christ and his Kingdom there.Buechner, > Frederick (1991).
