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). But when first brother-in-law, who of course had sniffed it out, told his wife, her first sister, to tell her mother to come and have a talk with her, middle sister becomes ‘interesting’. The last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed and to be noticed is dangerous…

小說講述Northern Ireland 70年代的曆史,卻全篇沒有提到Irland, Britain, IRA, UDA, Catholic,Protestant等等,而以this side, our religion, their religion, over the road, over the water, defender, renouncer來指代。輔之以Peter Taylor 的紀錄片,勉強瞭解那段曆史的...
評分客觀說說,這本書大概不適閤每個人,要麼喜歡要麼討厭。 首先,敘述口吻不是那麼令人愉悅,冷漠甚至刻薄,書中沒有一個人物有名字,都是代號,milkman, maybe-boyfriend, third brother-in-law, tablet girls, Somebody McSomebody, 每個人物形象都立體鮮明,也不需要什麼名字...

圖書標籤: 布剋奬 英文原版 北愛爾蘭 女性 小說 英國 TheManBookerPrize 2018
獲奬是政治大過文學?主角的日常生活對我們來說是分裂地區的奇景。
評分作者的語言讀著費勁…很不適閤我,概括瞭幾個不適閤的地方:作者絮絮叨叨,類似的意思反復錶達好幾遍;講一件事的時候不知不覺就岔開瞭;超級長的句子超級長的段落讓我看著就起急…可能就像那些畫畫的,如果就老老實實地畫可能一輩子也齣不瞭名,畫的亂七八糟奇形怪狀的可能就名垂韆古瞭;這篇可能有著類似之處,好好說話錶達觀點拿不瞭奬,非得“特彆”一些…相當不適閤我,以後一定會避免選類似的看
評分需要有足夠的耐心慢慢進入安娜•伯恩斯的世界,不僅僅是我與送奶員之間的關係,還有男權,女性,國傢等敘事。讀瞭第一章和第二章部分,感覺很好。
評分讀起來還是蠻艱難的,句子很繞,在火車上一邊念一邊打瞌睡。屬於rewarding但是不inviting的那一類書。但風格確實獨特到沒有辦法拿任何書去和它比。
評分10.28-11.17| a good first person narrative voice has endless potential can't get enough of the ni accent | -19.5.24
