{"product_id":"9781837262014","title":"Homework : A Memoir - Geoff Dyer","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1958, the only child of a dinner lady and a sheet-metal worker, Geoff Dyer grew up in a world shaped by the Second World War. 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on a mono record player, Geoff's dad discovers it's a portal to endless expenditure and funding for records is abruptly withdrawn.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":"Geoff Dyer","offers":[{"title":"304 pages, B\u0026W photos\/images throughout \/ 21\/05\/2026 \/ Memoirs","offer_id":57110721823095,"sku":"9781837262014","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781837262014_1accfb03-5a77-4e44-867d-c2fffa12f6f1.jpg?v=1781002848","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781837262014","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
