Uy… A ver。Me esperaba más， mucho más， especialmente luego de haber leído otros títulos de la autora。La historia está construida sobre una serie de simbolismos y unos vaivenes de espacio - tiempo que pueden parecer interesantes al inicio， pero que， a la larga， no aportan nada relevante y terminan por aburrir。Además， es difícil sentirse identificado con alguno de los personajes， pues todos parecen “hechos” a medida y no cumplen ningún rol relevante más allá del simple hecho de “estar”。 Al final no Uy… A ver。Me esperaba más， mucho más， especialmente luego de haber leído otros títulos de la autora。La historia está construida sobre una serie de simbolismos y unos vaivenes de espacio - tiempo que pueden parecer interesantes al inicio， pero que， a la larga， no aportan nada relevante y terminan por aburrir。Además， es difícil sentirse identificado con alguno de los personajes， pues todos parecen “hechos” a medida y no cumplen ningún rol relevante más allá del simple hecho de “estar”。 Al final no me quedo con nada。 Estoy seguro de que es una de esas historias que recordarás haber leído pero que， en unos años， no recordarás de qué se trataba… Quizás porque no se trata de nada en concreto y su plot se limita a lo contextual。 No lo sé。Lo único bueno es que se lee rápido， así que， al menos， no es una lectura pesada。 。。。more

Well what a strange book。 It was very disjointed， almost like the person who wrote it was drunk or something。 It seemed to me that there were many random sentences dotted about， for no apparent reason。

I adored parts of The Man Who Saw Everything - or， at least， what I can remember of it。In Hot Milk we get again Levy using recurring symbols， ideas around memory and perspective and the electrifying sentences of her statue-like characters。 Hot Milk throws up some interesting ideas in its own right， but I had certainly hoped for more。 Maybe it's just because I identify more with a male protagonist， but I don't think this is it。 At times the book seems to lose its thread， things or characters aren I adored parts of The Man Who Saw Everything - or， at least， what I can remember of it。In Hot Milk we get again Levy using recurring symbols， ideas around memory and perspective and the electrifying sentences of her statue-like characters。 Hot Milk throws up some interesting ideas in its own right， but I had certainly hoped for more。 Maybe it's just because I identify more with a male protagonist， but I don't think this is it。 At times the book seems to lose its thread， things or characters aren't explained， explored or tied up fully， and the strangenesses seem to become so odd and enigmatic that I at least couldn't understand them。 As far as I have read Deborah Levy is unique， though， and I still want to read Swimming Home too for her very special way of writing。 。。。more

Please do not ask me what this book is about。 I couldn’t possibly say。 The author writes with beautiful words。 Maybe there was a lot of symbolism and I missed it。 This book has been acclaimed and awarded。 Guess I was not the best audience for this。

Deborah Levy is a craftperson。 Like in the Ancient Greek statues you can't see the marks of the chisel and the finished product looks effortless， but there is a life of craft and creativity hidden beneath the seamless veneer。 Hot Milk is deceptively simple。 It presents a maybe-hypochondriac mother Rose and her daughter Sofia （yes， wisdom）， two English women sharing the Greek surname of Sofia's father。The narration is mostly provided by Sofia。 The story takes place in post-economic-crash Spain （a Deborah Levy is a craftperson。 Like in the Ancient Greek statues you can't see the marks of the chisel and the finished product looks effortless， but there is a life of craft and creativity hidden beneath the seamless veneer。 Hot Milk is deceptively simple。 It presents a maybe-hypochondriac mother Rose and her daughter Sofia （yes， wisdom）， two English women sharing the Greek surname of Sofia's father。The narration is mostly provided by Sofia。 The story takes place in post-economic-crash Spain （and a little in Greece）， where Rose is trying one last long-shot to find a cure for her legs， which don't work all the time。 Sofia has cared for her since she was a child， and resents her position as carer。 She seeks freedom but seems trapped as an anthropologist， doomed to observe。 Her father ran away to his homeland years ago and now lives in Athens with a wife who is only a little older than Sofia， and a new baby daughter。 In Spain， the （maybe quack） doctor Gómez， his daughter， two love interests and a couple of extras make up an ensemble cast， an entanglement of human， jellyfish and one dog actor who all play parts in this comic tragedy。The familial struggles and simple concepts are a narrative base for a more interesting metaphorical play， and a clever use of classical storytelling to present a myth for our times。 。。。more

Where to start with this book？This book came twice as a surprise: first， because I did not have too high expectations for this one （I have recently been quite disappointed when reading contemporary fiction。 Is it me or books tend to be shorter and aerial， like you really have to read through the lines to get the story， the characters tend to be insipid， the protagonists clearly dislikable， the prose very edgy but the plot totally inexistant， and so many questions left unanswered？！ Like， why do y Where to start with this book？This book came twice as a surprise: first， because I did not have too high expectations for this one （I have recently been quite disappointed when reading contemporary fiction。 Is it me or books tend to be shorter and aerial， like you really have to read through the lines to get the story， the characters tend to be insipid， the protagonists clearly dislikable， the prose very edgy but the plot totally inexistant， and so many questions left unanswered？！ Like， why do you prompt story arcs only to let them unfinished？！）。 "Hot Milk" was not such a book。 Well， at first sight， it can seem to be （incredible prose， dreamy atmosphere， but slightly underdeveloped plot， evasive characters， absurd scenes and dialogues。。。 At least that's what I've read in other reviews）。 But the book is so much more than that。 That's the second surprise: like Sofia， the narrator， I am 25， freshly graduated in anthropology， grappling with the idea of doing a Phd， but very unsure of what I can offer to the world， of what the world has in store for me， and if I deserve it （you know， 21st century insecurities coming of age things）。 So Sofia's experience really resonated with mine， the book was exactly what I needed to read right now （but I totally get it is not the case for everyone）。 I hadn't really read the synopsis before diving into the book， so it actually came as a good omen - a sign？Here's where to start: Sofia heads out of the sea because she has just been stung by a jellyfish。 She goes to the injury tent and has to fill in a form。 She has to specify her 'occupation'。 She tells the student working in the tent and attending to stung people that she studied anthropology。 'So do you anthropologists study primitive people？' he says。'Yes， but the only primitive person I have ever studied is myself'。We anthropologists always struggle to answer the questions of （often well-intended） people curious about our 'occupation'。 An anthropologist nowadays is certainly not someone 'studying primitive people'。 But it is very difficult to actually explain what it is that we really do。 Anthropologists study human cultures mainly by asking questions and observing social interactions， so they are in touch with many （different） people， they are immersed in social life。 At the same time， they are often the most weird， asocial and introspected people in the room （like one of my teachers ironically liked to remind us）。 Anthropology: balancing familiarity and estrangement。 That's Sofia: she voluntarily estranges herself from the world， she is too scared to fully live。 She finds herself the excuse to care full-time for her （ill， hypochondriac， stubborn， noisy， dependent and often unbearable） mother as a way to avoid the important things in her life。 In the book， she embarks on a double journey。 First， she travels to the south of Spain with her mother， a last attempt to find a diagnosis for her strange condition in a private （and expensive） clinic。 Second， she meets there some people that she mentally treats as her 'case studies'。 Eventually， they make her realise that she needs - and deserves - change， emancipation， personal growth。 A very peculiar blooming takes then place on deserted and polluted beaches， infested with translucent jellyfishes， smelly seaweed and evanescent plastic structures。 The writing reminded me a little bit of Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex or the Marriage Plot， but in a more experimental and feminine kind of way （maybe because Eugenides， of Greek origin， also infused the coming-of-age tale Middlesex with references to Greek mythology and its weird creatures？）。 However， what striked me was Levy's power of visualisation。 Her descriptions really made me visualise the different characters， the landscapes， the scenes in a very cinematographic way （each chapter unravels a single scene）。 Levy's metaphors， symbolisms and mythological references blended in my realistic imagery of the story （some scenes were very down to earth， although Sofia's mind is always wandering; other scenes were just dream-like， surrealist， but still。。。 Imaginable。 Picturable。 Which I found interesting）。 Besides some funny anthropological side notes that I personally found delectable， the two main themes that stood out （for me） in the book were the explorations of one's sexuality and the mother-daughter relationship （gender and kinship being， of course， two major topics of anthropological concern）。 "I did not go to Tahiti or Samoa like Margaret Mead to research human sexuality。 The only person I have known from infancy to adulthood is myself， but my own sexuality is an enigma to me。""I had been stung into desire。 An abundance of desire。 I was turning into someone I did not recognize。 I was terrifying myself。""'Sofia is a waitress， for the time being，' my father said in Greek。I am other things， too。I have a first-class degree and a master's。I am pulsating with shifting sexualities。 I am sex on tanned legs in suede platform sandals。I am urban and educated and currently godless。""He was maternal， brotherly， he was like a sister， perhaps paternal， he had become my lover。 Are we all lurking in each other's sign？" Some sentences （like 'I have been stung into desire'， 'my love for my mother is like an axe'， or 'are we all lurking in each other's sign？'） appear a few times in the book; this repetitive pattern is almost hypnotic。 It gives a certain rhythm to the reading experience， trance-like。 In that regard， it can almost be read like an epic poem （or a Greek tragedy） sometimes。 The book is an exploration of Sofia's identity as a daughter， a woman， a sexual being and a young adult， with all the confusion it entails。 We all endorse different identities in our daily lives。 We also ascribe to the ones around us a multiplicity of roles， expectations， obligations。 （These being basic anthropological / sociological observations。） But these 'signs' are never totally fixed， nor obvious。 They overlap， they shift， they mingle。 They do not always make sense。 Someone can be a lover and an enemy。 Or a mother-in-law and a sister。 Or a mother and a stranger。 Or a lover and a brother。 A woman can be confused for a man， a word can be read like another。 The book is thus an invitation to revise one's expectations of oneself and others， to always see people as surprises。 But also to change perspective on the many relationships we are embedded in - but not confined to。 。。。more

Вторая книга автора， прочитанная мною， и поэтому был готов к этому: погружение， почти физическое， в жаркое， душное человеческое сознание。 Испания， лето， море， мать， которая вечно больна так， что навязчиво хочет отрезать себе ноги， дочь， перезрелая и подавленная ипохондричной матерью - все случится этим летом， все придет к логичному завершению。

I mean this in a positive way but。。。this book is so weird！ It plays with memory and reality and you're never quite sure if what you're reading is actually happening to the characters or not - it felt like something that could be turned into a Yorgos Lanthimos film。 Sofia is a fascinating and infuriating character that feels stuck in life， all while absurd things keep happening to her。 Deborah Levy's turns of phrase are lyrical and inventive， creating a very dreamy atmosphere to the story。 I mean this in a positive way but。。。this book is so weird！ It plays with memory and reality and you're never quite sure if what you're reading is actually happening to the characters or not - it felt like something that could be turned into a Yorgos Lanthimos film。 Sofia is a fascinating and infuriating character that feels stuck in life， all while absurd things keep happening to her。 Deborah Levy's turns of phrase are lyrical and inventive， creating a very dreamy atmosphere to the story。 。。。more

This book is gracefully peculiar， and I enjoyed it once I got over feeling the author was trying hard to be weird。I think it accurately portrays the inner torment of the disenfranchised， and makes good commentary on the relationships of some mothers to some daughters， and some lovers of women to other lovers of women。So with that in mind， I heartily recommend it。

I will preface my thoughts by saying that it was quite quickly apparent from the first couple of chapters that this wasn't my type of book， though it was sufficiently short and I was curious as to whether it would prove me wrong， so I finished it regardless。 The writing is beautiful， almost feels like floating on a cloud， but there is little plot and properly unlikeable characters， though this is quite obviously by design。The premise is strange: （view spoiler）[ A mother-daughter pair who are ver I will preface my thoughts by saying that it was quite quickly apparent from the first couple of chapters that this wasn't my type of book， though it was sufficiently short and I was curious as to whether it would prove me wrong， so I finished it regardless。 The writing is beautiful， almost feels like floating on a cloud， but there is little plot and properly unlikeable characters， though this is quite obviously by design。The premise is strange: （view spoiler）[ A mother-daughter pair who are very co-dependent on one another， with the father largely out of the picture with another young family elsewhere （hide spoiler）]， throw in a weird doctor （is he a quack or not） （view spoiler）[ who employs his daughter as his nurse， and refers to his clinic as a "palace" despite not much evidence of him being any good， and charges so exorbitantly that people need to mortgage their houses to get onto his "treatment plan" （hide spoiler）] and some other strange characters in what seems like a rather small community in the south of Spain。 As much as this is against the point， I thought the Athens scenes were the most memorable part of the book for me， at the very least they made logical sense。 The scenes in Almeria bordered on irritating， though once again I think this is by design as to portray how toxic a co-dependency arrangement like this one is on both parties。 I don't cope well with books with little plot， although I know many others who would love this from the writing alone。 Character development， at least from my point-of-view， was almost nonexistent， and this book seemed like it was driven purely by illustrative writing over anything actually taking place。 My rating is 100% credited to the beautiful writing， and I can think of several others who I would recommend this to， but certainly not for me / readers with tastes similar to mine。 It is sufficiently short though， and every so often I do like a sojourn with beautiful language， so it did well in that respect。 2。5 stars， rounded up for the reasons above。 。。。more

The poetic nature of this novel was lovely to experiance however， it sometimes felt as if the prose was distracting from the narrative instead of adding to it。 The story itself did capture some beautiful themes on sexuality as well as a challenging mother/daughter dynamic when illness strikes。 Sophia's growth was portrayed in an interesting the narrative that I could relate to。 The poetic nature of this novel was lovely to experiance however， it sometimes felt as if the prose was distracting from the narrative instead of adding to it。 The story itself did capture some beautiful themes on sexuality as well as a challenging mother/daughter dynamic when illness strikes。 Sophia's growth was portrayed in an interesting the narrative that I could relate to。 。。。more

Dreamlike and vaguely disturbing， snippets of narrative loosely bound together。 Too much symbolism for me; something about it didn’t quite gel; as much as I loved the characters， the prose， the musings on maternity and family， sexuality。

I could not have cared less about the protagonist here。 So self-involved， irritating， and BORING。 I only kept reading because of the voyeuristic vignettes that broke up the chapters。 I thought they would lead to something。。。 （SPOILER） they do not。
