Isolt is down but not out in Paris. She's a sharp-tongued Irish drifter with a fierce instinct for survival who falls into a darkly comic romance with Christopher, "the Hoodoo Man." From Paris to Amsterdam, London to New York, the two run scams, tell tales, and squat among a riotous band of vagabonds and punk junkies from around the globe. Begging is their way of life, until Isolt determines a desperate escape. Written with razor-sharp humor and raw story-telling verve, Breakfast in Babylon explores the stark world of a rootless generation - a world of beggars who choose and beggars who have no choice.
