Hayden Rader (harader) | 5 comments My Life with R.H. Macy by Shirley Jackson was first published in the New Republic on December 22, 1941. I do not see this in Goodreads' book catalog. It would be nice to add as an individual story, not a collection of stories.

"My Life with R.H. Macy" Description:
This short story is written in the first person with an unidentified narrator, who describes her first days as an employee at Macy’s. She is immediately segregated into a nondescript group and constantly shuffled and ordered around by faceless employees, all of whom look the same and whom the narrator dubs identically as "Miss Cooper." As she continues through her first days of employment, she is confronted with the need for conformity, and with it, the erasure of her individuality.

Format: Digital

Emily | 17631 comments If it was published in a magazine exclusively, then it is not eligible to be added to Goodreads as a separate book. We can't use data from Storygraph. I can't tell where that person got the cover anyway. Sorry!

Jolien van Loenen | 1888 comments Archiving due to non-response. You are welcome to add a new request if you'd still like this book to be added. In that case follow the guidelines as per GR template ‘How to request a book to be added to Goodreads’
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Don't reply to this post as once it's archived it's unlikely to be read by a librarian.
