It was a time of Airfix models and wargames, conkers and frugality: having splurged on a mono record player, Geoff's dad discovers it's a portal to endless expenditure and funding for records is abruptly withdrawn. But far from being a story of hardship overcome, Homework is a celebration of opportunities afforded to Dyer's generation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA grammar-school education leads to books, prog rock (on a new stereo), girls, beer and, eventually, a place at Oxford. In Homework, Dyer returns to his early life and asks what it means to live through an era of complex social transformation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcade Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57354888774009,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/0124\/1465\/files\/homework.jpg?v=1780220672","url":"https:\/\/arcadebookshop.com\/products\/homework-geoff-dyer","provider":"Arcade Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
