It was a time of Airfix models, wargames, conkers and frugality: Geoff's father splurges on a mono record player — before imposing a blockade on buying records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut far from being a story of hardship overcome, \u003cem\u003eHomework\u003c\/em\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. He would go on to embrace a life his parents could barely recognise. In \u003cem\u003eHomework\u003c\/em\u003e, Dyer returns to the source and asks what it means to live through an era of complex social transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47665487675628,"sku":"9781837262014","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781837262014-homework.jpg?v=1779746242","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/homework-by-geoff-dyer-9781837262014","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
