“The matter-of-fact concision and vividness of the wild events in this story brought the writing of Barbara Comyns to mind and the early fiction of George Saunders. Nothing predictable occurs in this story about tainted free milk and honey-crusted children in washing machines. I relished every sentence of it.” -Idra Novey, author of Take What You Need

Easton Smith’s story, “The Milk Incident,” was chosen by Idra Novey as the winner of the 2024 Kenyon Review Short Fiction Contest
