    Man Booker Prize, 2018”Den dag Somebody McSomebody satte en pistol mod mit bryst og kaldte mig en tøs og truede med at skyde mig, var samme dag som mælkemanden døde.” En roman om en ung kvinde der bare vil være i fred. Og om alle de mennesker der bor i kvarteret: de fromme kvinder, manden der ikke elskede nogen, pillepigen, atomdrengen -- og om det internationale par som vendte ryggen til børn og krig og tog ud i verden og dansede og således blev accepteret af både den ene side og den anden. I et samfund der er opdelt i os og dem, og hvor bomber er mere accepteret end bøger, går mellemsøster rundt med næsen i bøger fra før det tyvende århundrede, og hendes måske-kæreste samler på bildele. En ældre paramilitær mand ønsker at indlede et forhold til mellemsøster, og hendes egen svoger sætter et rygte i gang om at de allerede har et forhold. Samtidig begynder det at forlyde at en af måske-kærestes bildele er smykket med det forbudte flag fra den anden side af vandet. ”Imponerende … bekræfter Anna Burns’ position som en af vores opstigende litterære stjerner.” IRISH TIMES ”Fremragende … Original, sjov, afvæbnende skæv og enestående: anderledes. GUARDIAN ”Det er en kløgtig, fortræffelig redegørelse for Nordirlands sociale landskab, men Mælkemanden er så meget mere end det … [Den] er en kraftfuld og nødvendig bog med langt mere end en antydning af indestængt vrede.” IRISH INDEPENDENT ”Hvis Beckett havde skrevet et prosadigt om Troubles, ville det ligne denne roman meget.” DAILY MAIL The Orwell Prize for Political Fiction, 2019 Shortlistet til Rathbones Folio Prize, 2019 Shortlistet til Women’s Prize, 2019 Man Booker Prize, 2018 National Book Critics Circle, 2018

    Winner of the Man Booker Prize"Everything about this novel rings true. . . . Original, funny, disarmingly oblique and unique."-The GuardianIn an unnamed city, middle sister stands out for the wrong reasons. 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. Milkman 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, Milkman establishes Anna Burns as one of the most consequential voices of our day.

    The darkly comic second novel from the author of the Man Booker Prize winner Milkman, now available in the United StatesIn the small town of Tiptoe Floorboard, the Doe clan, a close-knit family of criminals and victims, has the run of the place. Yet there are signs that patriarch John Doe's reign may be coming to an end. When Jetty Doe breaks into a gun store and makes off with a Kalashnikov, the stage is set for a violent confrontation. But while Jetty is making her way across town in a taxi, an elusive, chatty narrator takes us on a wild journey, zooming in and out on various members of the Doe clan with long, digressive riffs that chase down the causes and repercussions of Jetty's act.Before Milkman took the world by storm after winning the Man Booker Prize, Anna Burns had already honed her distinctive voice. In her second novel, Little Constructions, she exhibits the same linguistic brio, coruscating wit, and scintillating insight into men, women, and the roots of violence. A wickedly funny novel that swoops and spirals as it examines the long shadow of abuse and violent crime, Little Constructions explores what transpires when unspeakable realities, long hidden from view, can no longer be denied.

    WINNAAR VAN DE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018"Melkboer" van Anna Burns gaat over taal, over hoe die kan onthullen en verbergen, bevrijden en opsluiten. De hoofdpersoon, een teruggetrokken vrouw, blikt terug op haar jeugd in Belfast, ten tijde van de Troubles. Terwijl ze de harde realiteit van het Noord-Ierse geweld probeert te ontvluchten, zich onderdompelend in een 19de-eeuwse roman, beginnen er vreemde geruchten over haar de ronde te doen. Een paramilitair, die bekend staat als Melkboer, zou een affaire met haar hebben. Het verhaal gaat een eigen leven leiden. Dit boek combineert een realistisch kader met een belangrijk thema (de kwetsbaarheid van vrouwen) en absurdistische elementen. De roman voert de lezer mee op een ware woordenstroom, met enkele erg grappige en griezelige stukken. "Melkboer" won een resem literaire prijzen, waaronder de Man Booker Prize van 2018. Anna Burns (1962) is een Noord-Ierse schrijfster. Het gewelddadige verleden van haar land is het onderwerp van verschillende van haar boeken. Met "Milkman" won ze de Man Booker Prize 2018, Orwell Prize 2019 (voor politieke fictie) en de International Dublin Literary Award 2020. In totaal schreef ze 3 romans en een novelle.
