:For the film adaptation, please see Breakfast on Pluto (film)Breakfast on Pluto is a 1998 novel by Patrick McCabe. The book was shortlisted for the 1998 Booker Prize, and was adapted for the screen by McCabe and Neil Jordan; Jordan directed the 2005 film.Plot summarySet in 1960s to 1970s, the novel tells of the transgendered Patrick "Pussy" Bradens escape from the fictional Irish town of Tyreelin and a drunk foster mother, to find himself and the biological mother who gave him away. Bad luck surrounds him until he finds temporary contentment with a married politician who acts as a sugar daddy. The latter is killed by either the IRA or the Ulster Defence Volunteers, leaving Braden alone once again.

He moves to London, becomes a prostitute in Piccadilly Circus, and later is arrested on suspicion of an IRA bombing, only to be released a few days later. He later embarks on a search to find his mother and is successful.Film adaptationDirector Neil Jordans 2005 film version starred Cillian Murphy in the central role. In the novel, the main character is called "Pussy," not "Kitten," and there are other significant differences between the two versions of the characters, a central one being that the hypersexual Pussy is depicted explicitly as having sex with many male and female characters throughout the novel, while on screen Kitten is not shown even kissing another character on the lips.Pussys politician lover in the novel becomes a glam rock musician played by Gavin Friday with whom Kitten may or may not have had a sexual relationship, and Pussys lover Bertie Wooster becomes magician Bertie Vaughan (Stephen Rea), with whom Kitten has an unrequited flirtation. Liam Neeson plays the priest that Braden believes is his biological father, a character renamed Father Liam, although a number of reviews erroneously call him Father Bernard, as in the book.Cillian Murphy won an IFTA Award (2007) for Best Actor and was nominated for Golden Globe (2006) as Best Actor in Musical or Comedy for his performance.
