Ļoti nozīmīgs teksts lv literatūrā, manuprāt. Vienlaikus interesanta un smieklīga lasāmviela ( vai nav laba kombinācija?). Daudzkārt Jaukumiņš jau salīdzināts ar Krisas Krausas Diku - varu piekrist, tikai - te ir Krausa ar bērniem.

Kristīne Želve and 5 other people liked Emija Grigorjeva's review of Es aizgāju pēc piena un neatgriezos: "Sajūta, ka es būtu aizbraukusi uz attālu lauku ciemu, kur notiek šausmīgas lietas, bet tā ir lietu kārtība, un ir saulains. Šī grāmata mani negaidīti izklaidēja, neko nejutu kādos 2-3 dzejoļos. Vislabāk patika gore dzejolis."

Quotes by Kristīne Želve (?)

“Ļoti ilgi es nezināju, ko īsti iesākt ar savu jaunību. Man gribējās to kaut kur likt. Un ilgu laiku es liku to mierā.”
― Kristīne Želve, Meitene, kas nogrieza man matus

“Un Villijs gribēja man nolasīt dzejoli MĪLESTĪBA, un, tā kā viņš bija uzkarsējis mums alu un kliedējis manu sapīkumu,es viņam to ļāvu:

...apliet ar benzīnu un aizsmēķēt,pažēlot,pasaudzēt un apkampt, kā arī palēkt zem vilciena. Ilgi neatbildēt uz jautājumiem,lēkt pie telefona kā trakam,piekrist visam, dienās būt miegainam plus lepoties ar to,ka neesat pārliecināts,kā arī kļūt skumjam.Bailes un bailes,lai tas viss nekad nebeigtos.”
― Kristīne Želve, Meitene, kas nogrieza man matus

“Mēs taču neesam vāji cilvēki, bet aristokrāti, un pie tam vēl strādnieki.”
