Veneer
Working in men’s fashion wasn’t exactly the career Kris Noone had in mind when he graduated from university with an art history degree, but nonetheless he finds himself selling clothes to indifferent rich men who want to look good and barely acknowledge his existence.
During long boring days idling away the hours as a sales assistant, he starts to realise that university isn’t quite the ‘get out of jail card’ he thought it would be. And it doesn’t get any better when his tyrannical manager, Vivienne, decides to turn him into the model employee.
Forced to dress in a uniform of suit, shirt, and tie while being servile to his customers, Kris slowly feels his identity being eroded. When Vivienne pushes him too far, the consequences are disastrous for all.
Originally published in 2007 under a pseudonym, this new ebook edition of Veneer contains a completely revised text. Influenced by Sylvia Plath and J.D. Salinger, P.H. Davies’ novel is a cry from the heart of Gen Y.
