Nominerad till Kulturhuset Stadsteaterns internationella litteraturpris 2020.
Hon är arton år och bor i en no-go-zon, hon rör sig gärna till fots. Här är det farligt att äga reservdelar till en Bentley, eftersom bilmärket kommer från ockupationsmakten. Han som kanske är hennes pojkvän flyttar runt delarna i sitt hem för att inte bli avslöjad. Och mannen som kallas för mjölkbudet verkar följa efter henne, med oklart uppsåt. Här råder en latent militär konflikt, i vilken alla på ett eller annat sätt är indragna. Rykten florerar, stadens hundar avlivas över en natt. Med stort siktdjup tecknar Anna Burns en ung flickas utsatta position i ett religiöst, traditionellt samhälle, där paranoian sedan länge ockuperar människornas kroppar.
Anna Burns föddes 1962 i Belfast, Nordirland. Mjölkbudet, som belönades med Man Booker-priset 2018, National Book Critics Circle Award och flera andra utmärkelser, är den första av hennes böcker som översätts till svenska.
»Det var mycket länge sedan jag läste en roman som gjorde mig så här förtjust, ja golvad! Burns förmåga att med full kontroll på stilmedlen loda djupen och lyfta gestaltningen till stor konst gör att jag nu vill läsa allt av henne. På originalspråk eller i översättning, det är helt upp till förläggare Nirstedt och översättare Peter Samuelsson.« Martin Lagerholm, Ystads Allehanda
»... en universell historia som berättar hur människor agerar när våldet är en integrerad del av samhället.« Maria Schottenius, Dagens Nyheter

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. Of course, of everybody of whom this particular hero was suspicious, he was most suspicious of femme fatale, of this woman he was in love with. Even before he discovered she had a spell on her he was distrustful of her. He didn't want to be, but that's just how it goes. Written by Anna Burns before she completed her dazzling Man Booker-winning novel Milkman, 'Mostly Hero' is the hilarious, hell-raising descendant of Quentin Tarantino and the Brothers Grimm. Originally self-published online, it is available here in print for the first time.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE WINNER AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MILKMANStill eighty-two, still with fifty-seven bullets in her, still dying, and with a blood-trail resembling a post-structuralist anti-principle of a traditional abstracted countercomposition, she was softly cursing and willing herself not to die.Follow Hero the superhero as he saves the world from villains and falls in love with a femme fatale named Femme Fatale. Written by Anna Burns before she completed her dazzling Booker-winning novel Milkman, 'Mostly Hero' is a hilarious, witty, hell-raising romp through a world of superheroes.'This crazy little nugget from the winner of the Booker prize for Milkman is a brutal satire of the superhero phenomenon. It ridicules the mindlessness of violence and the glorification of the same in popular culture, and that with a touch of feminism.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review'Out of the ordinary, extraordinary. This is unlike anything.'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review'SOOOO WEIRD. SOOOO CRAZY. SOOOO BRILLIANT' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review

By mid-life you will face menopause. Why, in some cultures is it a time to be celebrated, while in ours it heralds the end of so many good things? The end of your youth, the end of your beauty, the end of your joy. The beginning of the end. I propose that menopause is a time to transition to the very best in your life. To become the true you, the strong you, the fittest you. Don’t let menopausal fat-gain hold you back. This is not an inevitability. You can be fit and fab in your fifties and beyond. I will show you how. I have worked for twenty five years as a personal weight-loss coach with mainly women of middle age. I have developed an accurate insight into what holds us back from believing that we can be as lean and fit in our fifties as we were in our thirties. Question the assumptions you make about this stage in life. Is becoming ‘square’ a natural evolution? Or can we retain a slim physique, with our curves still where they should be? Can we fearlessly lift heavier weights than we have ever done? Can we retain our sexy self-image? Yes, of course we can.

1969 beginnen in Nordirland die Troubles. Doch Amelia Boyd Lovett versucht, sich auf ihre Habseligkeiten zu konzentrieren. Jeden Tag schaut sie sich die Schätze an, die sie unter ihrem Bett in einem abgewetzten Koffer versteckt: ein kleines Plastikschaf, ein Gebet für einen Penny, eine Tube Glitzer. Und siebenunddreißig Gummigeschosse. Die sammelt sie, seitdem die britische Armee angefangen hat, damit zu schießen.Belfast. Amelia ist acht, als die Troubles beginnen. Zum Ende der Unruhen ist sie Mitte dreißig. Dazwischen spannt sich die Geschichte eines Mädchens, das in einer verrückten Gesellschaft aufwächst und dabei ganz auf sich gestellt ist – trotz der Großfamilie, mit der es unter einem Dach lebt. Amelia will um jeden Preis vergessen, was um sie herum passiert. Und das ist so einiges: Schülerinnen, die bewaffnet herumspazieren, Babys, die Bomben sein könnten oder auch nicht, Jugendliche, die sich als Ordnungshüter aufspielen, und Heimwege, die ein bitterböses Ende bereithalten. Wenn Amelia überleben will, muss sie ihren eigenen Weg finden. Aber kann sie das an einem Ort, an dem die Menschen jedes Gefühl füreinander verloren haben?»Fantastisch: schockierend, bewegend, eindrucksvoll.« Daily Mail

The second novel from Anna Burns, critically acclaimed author of the Man Booker winning novel, Milkman ’Brilliant … I can’t remember the last time I read prose so profound and so punchy’ Daily Telegraph An irate woman bursts into the best gun shop in the town of Tiptoe Floorboard, helps herself to a Kalashnikov rifle and sets off in a taxi on her mission of retribution. So begins this kaleidoscopic, surreal and enigmatic tale of dark deeds in a small town.At the centre of Anna Burns’s startling new novel lies the Doe clan, a closely knit family of criminals and victims whose internal conflicts and convoluted relationships propel this simultaneously funny and terrifying story. Bound together by love and loyalty, fear and secrets, the Does and other inhabitants of Tiptoe Floorboard make up an unforgettable cast of characters. In a voice that is by turns chilling and wickedly funny, the narrator documents their struggle to make and maintain connections with each other, and – weaving back and forth in time – examines what transpires when unspeakable realities, long pushed from consciousness, begin to break through.Anna Burns’s first novel ‘No Bones’ was shortlisted for the Orange Prize. This second work secures her reputation as a writer of mesmerising originality and rare talent.
