초록

Anna Burns’ Booker-winning Milkman is a metaphorical resistance to the slogan of fresh start—“Let’s forget the past and start anew,” which was declared in the 1998 Irish Good Friday Agreement. Although the Troubles seemed to be resolved by political logic, the narratives of real life of those who had endured the Troubles were robbed and forced to forget. In particular, women and children on both sides were “invisible” during the Troubles, and their voices have never been represented properly. Milkman is about the psychology of an 18-year-old girl who has a habit of reading while walking down the street, and about the reaction the community shows after she was stalked by Milkman, a member of the IRA leadership. This paper examines the affect of the claustrophobic community created by the Troubles and the individuals in the community from the perspectives of insidious trauma and armed patriarchy. Moreover this paper analyzes the novel’s experimental narrative strategies as well as genre change shown in the first and second half of the novel.

Abstract

Anna Burns’ Booker-winning Milkman is a metaphorical resistance to the slogan of fresh start—“Let’s forget the past and start anew,” which was declared in the 1998 Irish Good Friday Agreement. Although the Troubles seemed to be resolved by political logic, the narratives of real life of those who had endured the Troubles were robbed and forced to forget. In particular, women and children on both sides were “invisible” during the Troubles, and their voices have never been represented properly. Milkman is about the psychology of an 18-year-old girl who has a habit of reading while walking down the street, and about the reaction the community shows after she was stalked by Milkman, a member of the IRA leadership. This paper examines the affect of the claustrophobic community created by the Troubles and the individuals in the community from the perspectives of insidious trauma and armed patriarchy. Moreover this paper analyzes the novel’s experimental narrative strategies as well as genre change shown in the first and second half of the novel.
