For over thirty years he has been at\u00a0the\u00a0forefront of the Irish literary scene. Two of his novels, The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto have been\u00a0shortlisted for the Booker Prize and have been adapted for film. McCabe\u2019s fictional settings are the\u00a0small towns of the Irish midlands, a setting that he has made his own, to the extent that his writing has\u00a0been called \u201cBog Gothic\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>His papers, now held in Hesburgh Libraries Special Collections, include notebooks, early drafts, later\u00a0drafts, papers relating to films, financial papers from publishers, correspondence, song lyrics,\u00a0photographs and newspaper clippings. A preliminary organization has taken place, and thanks to the\u00a0work of Amanda Bohne and Finola Prendergast, it is anticipated that the papers will be available for\u00a0scholars to consult by 2016.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: .8em\"><a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\" rel=\"license\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"border-width: 0\" src=\"https:\/\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by\/4.0\/88x31.png\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" \/><\/a> <em>This work is licensed under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\" rel=\"license\">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License<\/a>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by\u00a0Aed\u00edn N\u00ed Bhr\u00f3ithe Clements,\u00a0Irish Studies Librarian The Hesburgh Libraries recently acquired the papers of Irish writer Patrick McCabe.
