Blood and Milk: A Novel in Stories creates a memorable modern
character in Becky Hawkins, whose struggles to care for her senile
grandfather and brain-injured child are told with tenderness and an
awareness of the comic incongruities of life. "Blackmon seems to
inhabit the wife and mother at the center of these stories right
down to her synapses. It's as if he knows not only her every
thought but her every inflection, the exact phrases with which she
speaks to herself in the privacy of her consciousness. There's not
a sentence here without the mark of truth to it."-Kevin Brockmeier,
author of The Illumination: A Novel, and The Brief History of the
Dead
