About this Item

McCabe, Patrick. Breakfast on Pluto. First edition, second impression; flat signed by the author on the title page. London: Macmillan, 1998. Hardback, near fine in unclipped dustjacket with minor shelfwear to top edge. Small stain to the top of inside front flap. Black boards with silver lettering to spine. Binding strong and tight. Black endpapers. 200pp. Small mark on the top of the text block; contents clean and bright. "In this Booker Prize finalist, McCabe walks far out on a limb: in the voice of Patrick ""Pussy"" Braden, a male transvestite fathered by a priest and brought up by foster parents, he tells of life in a violent Irish border town in the early 1970s and an exiled existence in London. McCabe manages adroitly to paint a tender portrait of lives destined to be lost to history--apolitical folk welcome neither in Catholic Ireland nor in the U.K. while the sectarian war rages on" (Publishers' Weekly). RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions. All images are of the actual book for sale - no stock images are ever used. Thank you for looking at this listing.
