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…

作者的语言读着费劲…很不适合我,概括了几个不适合的地方:作者絮絮叨叨,类似的意思反复表达好几遍;讲一件事的时候不知不觉就岔开了;超级长的句子超级长的段落让我看着就起急…可能就像那些画画的,如果就老老实实地画可能一辈子也出不了名,画的乱七八糟奇形怪状的可能就名垂千古了;这篇可能有着类似之处,好好说话表达观点拿不了奖,非得“特别”一些…相当不适合我,以后一定会避免选类似的看
