Milkman a novel5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Milkman won several awards, including the 2018 Booker Prize for Fiction, marking the first time a Northern Irish writer has been awarded the prize. Milkman received strongly positive reviews, with critics mostly praising the book's narration, atmosphere, humour, and its complex portrayal of Northern Irish sociopolitics. It is Burns's first novel to be published after Little Constructions in 2007, and is her third overall. Set during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, the story follows an 18-year-old girl who is harassed by an older married man known as "the milkman" and then as "Milkman". Milkman is a historical psychological fiction novel written by the Northern Irish author Anna Burns. ![]() Print (hardcover, paperback), ebook, kindle, audiobook ![]() Machado in the dreamhouse5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() She does, pressing a firm palm against your crescendoing howl, and it’s as if the sound is being pushed back into your body so that it might suffuse your every molecule. ![]() In the late spring, you surprise yourself by asking her to cover your mouth as you come. Maybe you really do believe that women are different. All these years of telling him he’s full of shit, that he needs to decolonize his mind and lose the gender essentialism, and here you are learning that lesbian relationships are, somehow, different - more intense and beautiful but also more painful and volatile, because women are all of these things too. Suddenly you find yourself wondering if you’re in the middle of evidence that he’s right. He never said it in a bad way, exactly - though the implication is always there. You have spent your whole life listening to your father talk about women’s emotions, their sensitivity. And why wouldn’t you? You trust her, and you have no context for anything else. And so when she walks into your office and tells you that this is what it’s like to date a woman, you believe her. She is the first woman who yokes herself to you with the label girlfriend. But she is the first woman who wants you in that way - desire tinged with obsession. She is not your first female crush, or your first female kiss, or even your first female lover.
