[Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***'"The Butcher Boy" is a 1992 novel by Patrick McCabe. Set in a small town in Ireland in the early 1960s, it tells the story of Francis "Francie" Brady, a schoolboy who retreats into a violent fantasy world as his troubled home life collapses. "The Butcher Boy" won the 1992 Irish Times Irish Literature Prize for Fiction and was shortlisted for the 1992 Booker Prize. The novel is written in a hybrid of first-person narrative and stream of consciousness, with little punctuation and no separation of dialogue and thought. Guathier, in examining the state of identity in the novel, explains that this style of writing forces the reader to "constantly [reassess] Francie Brady's psychological (in)stability [---] never quite sure to what extent Francie's perceptions are delusions or are incisive commentary on the narrow community in which he lives."'
