«Breakfast on Pluto» is the novel by Patrick McCabe, published by Goldmann Verlag in paperback (218 pages, in German).
Patrick «Pussy» Braden grows up in the grey Ireland of the 1950s and, as an adult, settles in London, where he earns a living as a drag performer in the nightlife scene while searching for his biological mother. When the conflict between Northern Ireland and England erupts, violence shakes his fragile world of fantasy and optimism. A novel of black humour and tragic tone.
Originally published in English in 1998, it was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and adapted into a film by Neil Jordan with Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson and Stephen Rea.
For readers of Irish fiction and queer literature interested in the novel that inspired Neil Jordan's film.
