At the Hairdresser's | Anita Brookner

Penguin Specials are designed to fill a gap. Written to be read over a long commute or a short journey, they are original and exclusively in digital form. This is a poignant novella from Anita Brookner. 'I rather hope I shall die at the hairdresser's, for they are bound to know what to do. At least that is what I tell myself.' Solitude is a familiar burden for Elizabeth Warner. She lives in a basement flat near Victoria and leaves the house only to go shopping and to have her hair done - until a chance encounter at the hairdresser's brings unexpected change. At the Hairdresser's is a deeply moving, unflinchingly observed story about trust and betrayal by one of the greatest writers of contemporary fiction.

Why do hairdressers always rush your fringe! I said just a little off; eyebrow length....now I get to go on holiday looking like Floyd!!! 🙄

Bambolina_81 😯 I'm sure you look lovely! My husband has banned me from ever having a fringe again after I was butchered (his words), I liked it and it cost me £80. 7y
Caroline2 😲 hairdressers charge soooo much now don't they! 💸 7y
LeahBergen I didn't mean to laugh but ... Floyd! 😂 And it's happened to me before, too. 7y

actualdisneyprincess When I was little, I always told the hairdresser "don't cut them too short!!!!!" And then, inevitably, they were basically up to my hairline and I was DEVASTATED, because I looked RIDICULOUS. ? 7y
Caroline2 @LeahBergen 😆 floyd always cracks me too!!! 7y
Caroline2 @actualdisneyprincess why do they always do that?!?! Think I'm gonna trim my own fringe from now on!! 😉 7y

Pengiun Shorts are digital short stories meant to be read during a commute or a bus ride.

This short story by Anita Brookner is about an elderly lady; Elizabeth Warner and her biweekly appointment at the hairdresser. The characters are painted with a realistic brush. The author flashbacks to the past, and shows us the present.

A very realistic story that makes you think and ponder about the life we live.
