Postmodernism?

As you may have conjectured when reading the previous text, this book takes everything to a new level. It is crazy and very different, therefore I would place Breakfast on Pluto under the genre Postmodernism. As a result of this, it is best suited for persons who read a lot and is tired of the classic novels and are longing for something new and fresh.

If one would look at the language used in this novel you could see that it is advanced and that it contains expressions which require good education to fully understand. Thus this book should be most popular among well educated persons who care about the culture and like to jump on the bandwagon so to speak. Persons who read Breakfast on Pluto are in generally considered to be topnotch.

I find it a little sad that Breakfast on Pluto has such a narrow target of audience when it contains a message valuable for everyone.

  2. To quote: "For example, when “normal persons” are thinking about their own success and are embittered, Braden is thinking about his nails and clothes but is at the same time happy (...) At first you may not understand Braden´s way of living but soon you start to think that his worldview is in fact better, more humane, then the worldview owned by us “normal persons”. That is something that the author, Patrick McCabe, wants to achieve and he sure does." (rickardreads.blogspot.com 2010)

    To clarify, one should be more open-minded and try to see things from different perspectives. Not to condemn a person because of prejudices before you have seen the situation, in question, from this person’s perspective. I.e. you should try to be more objective

    Did you read previous texts on this blog before commenting? ;)
