Original, funny, disarmingly oblique and unique.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an unnamed city, middle sister stands out for the wrong reasons. She reads while walking, for one. And she has been taking French night classes downtown. So when a local paramilitary known as the milkman begins pursuing her, she suddenly becomes \"interesting,\" the last thing she ever wanted to be. Despite middle sister's attempts to avoid him--and to keep her mother from finding out about her maybe-boyfriend--rumors spread and the threat of violence lingers. \u003ci\u003eMilkman\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of the way inaction can have enormous repercussions, in a time when the wrong flag, wrong religion, or even a sunset can be subversive. Told with ferocious energy and sly, wicked humor, \u003ci\u003eMilkman\u003c\/i\u003e establishes Anna Burns as one of the most consequential voices of our day.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnna Burns\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
