About
McCabe is not a poet but come along and hear him read Heaney and Durcan among others as he recounts the story of his writing life from Clones County Monaghan to Dublin, London, USA and back again. Meet Behan, Kavanagh and various monsters from the deep along the way... plus, a song on the guitar from Elvis.
The twice Booker-nominated author from Clones is known for his novels set in smalltown Ireland. His books include The Dead School, The Butcher Boy, Breakfast on Pluto, Winterwood, Poguemahone and Goldengrove.
Both The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto were adapted for the big screen and directed by Neil Jordan. He continues to write for radio and stage along with plays for The Garage Theatre Monaghan including Little White Lies and the forthcoming Wildwood Flower. A member of Aosdána, Patrick is currently working on a new novel entitled Home Entertainment.
Pat McCabe's first visit to HomePlace promises to be a very special evening.
