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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Burns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1644450003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644450000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/12\/2018 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2018 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2018 pg. 84","brand":"Anna Burns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055036821759,"sku":"9781644450000","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85470e38-e908-45ca-ba28-c7357cd72233.jpg?v=1685033422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/milkman-anna-burns-9781644450000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
