My Life as an African: A BiograFictional Memoir I don’t really need money when I’m seventeen — my parents support me with no problem — but I decide to take a summer job at the end of my first year at university. Through the university employment office I find out about a summer job working at Jaggers, a wholesale department store in St George’s Street that sells to other businesses. I interview and accept it. Jaggers is famous among Jewish families: individuals get to shop wholesale there too if they can claim a link through some friends’ or family’s business. My mother has taken me there to buy things through our cousins’ Queens Hotel account. She bought me my first fountain pen there in Standard 5 when we were first allowed to abandon dipping pens and inkwells — it was a beautiful marbled blue Conway Stewart with a medium nib for £5.
