"The truth was dawning on me of how terrifying it was not to be numb, but to be aware, to have facts, retain facts, be present, be adult."

Sevgili Duygu Akın hediyesi, buluşmak için can attığım Anna Burns, "Sütçü" 😍İrlanda'da kadın olma,siyasetle,geleneklerle içiçe zorlu yaşamlar üzerine çok incelikli bir eser. Pürüzsüz,ışıl ışıl çevirisiyle yazarın üslubu eksiksiz bizimle, teşekkürler👏 #duyguakın #annaburns #sütçü
If you're reading #Milkman by #AnnaBurns and thinking 'this is weird' you need to reapproach it with some context. It's not just a book to be read idly for escapism because you liked the pink cover. It's about growing up in war-torn Northern Ireland; it's a portrait of authoritarianism in action.
I would like to see #AnnaBurns elected to the Seanad #Ireland
Eine #Novelle von #AnnaBurns, die für ihren #Roman „Der Milchmann“ viele Preise erhielt. Eine Betrachtung klassischer #Superhero -Tropen, augenzwinkernd, feministisch, natürlich in Burns’ besonderem Sound. Auch hier heißen die Figuren wie ihre Archtypen, also Superheld und Femme fatale #bookstagram

Somewhere around here, there is a conversation to be had about sexism, racism, homophobia, and religion, but the distance that the author put between the text and the reader makes me lose interest. #milkman #AnnaBurns #BookChat #booksky
I don’t know who the consistent anonymization distances the most from the text, the author or the reader. #milkman #AnnaBurns #BookChat #booksky
When we overuse endless repetitions as a stylistic device, we lose the effect and just become really annoying. #milkman #AnnaBurns #BookChat #booksky
When the many vaguenesses, omissions, and renaming of things are as obvious as they are repetitive, it’s not evoking. It’s not lyrically subtle. It’s just annoying. #milkman #AnnaBurns #BookChat #booksky
