Description



Book Synopsis



A sparkling, funny, and often wrenching portrait-in-essays on the dairy industry, queer intimacy, family, fluidity, whiteness, and cows.

For decades, Megan Milks has wondered what it means to share a last name with the classic white American beverage. Now, Milks takes on their namesake subject in all its dimensions, venturing into the worlds of small dairies, bovine genetics, and manure while also turning their eye on their family and themself. The resulting essays connect the dots between human lactation, Big Dairy, being queer and lonely, climate change, transmasculinity, the bull semen industry, the milky roots of white supremacy, and the best practices for giving and receiving a hug. With Mega Milk, Megan Milks confirms their place as one of our most exciting queer thinkers and writers.




Review Quotes




Praise for Mega Milk

"Milk is just the beginning of this book. Cows are just the beginning. Animal rights, factory farming, capitalist desecration, human-animal relations ranging from cruelty to tenderness, Megan's own autobiography--are just the beginning. Mega Milk is a feat of literary virtuosity, a kaleidoscope of eros that left me gasping." --Dodie Bellamy, author of Bee Reaved


"This surreal, horny, and gloriously grotesque investigation of milk will suck you in and surprise you, again and again. I will forever suckle at the teat of Megan Milks's magnificent mind. They are a poet of the sensate, a weird queer pilgrim at the altar of the udder, asking how we might be kinder to each other, human and cow. Why can't more books be like this?" --Sabrina Imbler, author of How Far the Light Reaches

"Mega Milk is the kinkiest book I've ever read. A work of udder genius!" --Myriam Gurba, author of Creep


"Inquisitive, rigorous, aberrant--in other words, enthrallingly queer--Mega Milk leads readers on a visceral romp through family, identity, sex, the bodies of actual cows, and the whole of the dairy industry. Often tantalizing and occasionally, lovingly confounding, Milks's first essay collection is nothing short of astounding. There are few books I can shove in the hands of both theorist pals and farm friends across the gender spectrum and tell them honestly: 'Read this. It will change your life.'" --Anne Elizabeth Moore, author of Body Horror
