{"product_id":"homework-9781837262014","title":"Homework : A Memoir","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 memories of shortages and the Second World War. 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\u003cp\u003eBut 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. He would go on to embrace a life his parents could barely recognise. In Homework , Dyer returns to the source and asks what it means to live through an era of complex social transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Geoff Dyer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eEnglish, Autobiography: literary, Memoirs, Literary studies: fiction, novelists \u0026amp; prose writers, Social classes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 21 May 2026 by Canongate Books.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Geoff Dyer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57320632320378,"sku":"9781837262014","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781837262014.jpg?v=1790659847","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/homework-9781837262014","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
