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on a mono record player, Geoff's dad discovers it's a portal to endless expenditure and funding for records is abruptly withdrawn.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. A 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\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57203901497717,"sku":"9781837262014","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781837262014.jpg?v=1779099358","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781837262014","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
