Milkman by Anna Burns
The nameless characters in Anna Burns’ latest novel made quite a stir in the literary world, inspiring rave reviews from The New Yorker, the Washington Post, Kirkus, and Publishers Weekly, among others. Milkman won the Man Booker Prize last fall, making Burns the first Northern Irish author to do so; the book also took home the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction earlier this year. “A deeply stirring, unforgettable novel that feels like a once-in-a-generation event,” writes Kirkus in a starred review.
