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on a mono record player, Geoff's dad discovers it's a portal to endless expenditure and funding for records is abruptly withdrawn. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut far from being a story of hardship overcome, \u003ci\u003eHomework\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHomework\u003c\/i\u003e, Dyer returns to his early life and asks what it means to live through an era of complex social transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Geoff Dyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback B-format paperback","offer_id":50334847631552,"sku":"9781837262014","price":26.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/1032\/6976\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c0db8cfc-2dcc-4284-8f0e-121684f461ee.jpg?v=1790196587","url":"https:\/\/stirlingbookco.ca\/products\/9781837262014","provider":"Stirling Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
