Breakfast on Pluto, by Patrick McCabe, was first published in 1998 and was a huge success, almost winning the 1998 Booker Prize (the top prize for literature in Great Britain). The novel takes place in the 1960s to 1970s and tells the story of a transgender woman by the name of “Pussy” Braden during The Troubles, a particularly tumultuous and dangerous period in Ireland’s history.
