The Whole Story And Other Stories
“A man came into the bookshop where I was working. He looked like a bank clerk or an accountant or some kind of businessman; he had distinguished looking hair and was wearing a suit and tie. I straightened my shoulders. I was already in trouble at work and didn’t want to get into any more trouble. He looked like he might be important.I worked in a more old-fashioned bookshop at that time; what I was in trouble for was not wearing the right kinds of clothes. Shortly before the day I’m talking abo...ut I had gone to work wearing a sweatshirt with a designer slogan on it. It said across my back IN A DREAM YOU SAW A WAY TO SURVIVE AND YOU WERE FILLED WITH JOY. The sweatshirt had caused a major staff commotion and I had been called to the boss’s office and given a dressing down (as it were), a row about always wearing trousers instead of a skirt and thirty pounds’ unprecedented allowance to go and buy some proper blouses. There was a lot of anger in the staffroom about me getting money for clothes.MoreLess
