  <about><![CDATA[Patrick McCabe is an Irish writer of mostly dark and violent novels of contemporary, often small-town, Ireland. His novels include &lt;i&gt;The Butcher Boy&lt;/i&gt; (1992) and &lt;i&gt;Breakfast on Pluto&lt;/i&gt; (1998), both shortlisted for the Booker Prize. He has also written a children's book (&lt;i&gt;The Adventures of Shay Mouse&lt;/i&gt;) and several radio plays broadcast by the RTÉ and the BBC Radio 4. &lt;i&gt;The Butcher Boy&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Breakfast on Pluto&lt;/i&gt; have both been adapted into films by Irish director Neil Jordan.

McCabe lives in Clones, Co. Monaghan with his wife and two daughters.
