Anna Burns was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She is the author of two novels, No Bones and Little Constructions, and of the novella, Mostly Hero. No Bones won the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize and was short-listed for the Orange Prize for Fiction. She lives in East Sussex, England.
Set in an un-named city but with an astonishing, breath-shorteningly palpable sense of time and place Milkman is a tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness. The story of inaction with enormous consequences and decisions that are never made, but for which people are judged and punished.
Middle sister is our protagonist. She is busy attempting to keep her mother from discovering her nearly-boyfriend and to keep everyone in the dark about her encounter with milkman (which she herself for the life of her cannot work out how it came about).

The last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed and to be noticed is dangerous…
客观说说,这本书大概不适合每个人,要么喜欢要么讨厌。 首先,叙述口吻不是那么令人愉悦,冷漠甚至刻薄,书中没有一个人物有名字,都是代号,milkman, maybe-boyfriend, third brother-in-law, tablet girls, Somebody McSomebody, 每个人物形象都立体鲜明,也不需要什么名字...

听不懂
评分需要有足够的耐心慢慢进入安娜•伯恩斯的世界,不仅仅是我与送奶员之间的关系,还有男权,女性,国家等叙事。读了第一章和第二章部分,感觉很好。
评分爱尔兰作家的讽刺功力真是深入骨髓啊~真是the politics of rumours!
评分It can be well presented on screen by BoJack Horseman team, with both edgy and perpetual topics, absurd and visceral.
评分看到1/3看不下去了,完全不知道在讲什么,弃。这个"maybe-boyfriend"的叫法看着真是难受
