Lanyards

Campbell, Neil, 1973-2019
Books, Manuscripts
The third part of Neil Campbell's 'Manchester Trilogy,' in which our struggling young writer finds love with a girl called Cho. Where a love song to Manchester becomes a love song to Cho. 'Lanyards' explores how the jobs we wear around our necks dictate the ways we are identified. Building on the previous novel in the trilogy, 'Zero Hours,' our protagonist finds himself on universal credit, taking agency jobs, moving from learning support work in schools and colleges to call centre jobs and back again, via a failed attempt at getting a job as a driver on the Metrolink tram network. 'Lanyards' portrays the comic and poignant moments of working life.
