The Milkman in the Night
by Andrey Kurkov
Realistic Fiction
Review #1
* * Stars (Just ok)
This book is about three people who are struggling financially and all experiencing odd things. For example, Dima has a cat that can’t die, Semyon has a night life he is not aware of because he sleepwalks, and Irina is being chased down by a large group of people who want her breast milk. There honestly is not much plot; the story just evolves from sad to ??, and even then, none of the questions the book brings up are answered. None of the odd scenarios are fully understood, and there was no climax. All in all, it was an interesting read, but not well planned or thought out.
