A sparkling, funny, and often wrenching portrait-in-essays on the dairy industry, queer intimacy, whiteness, animal liberation, and being a trans person with a complicated family. For decades, Megan Milks and their suburban Virginia family have dealt with the fallout of having a last name that's also the classic white American beverage. Now, Milks takes on their namesake subject in all its dimensions, turning their eye on their family, themself, and every aspect of milk. The resulting portrait-in-essays connects the dots between animal liberation, the history of farm labor, being queer and lonely, climate change, the bull semen aftermarket, the roots of American racism, and the best practices for giving and receiving a hug. Here, with Mega Milk , Megan Milks confirms their place as one of our most exciting queer thinkers and writers.
