{"product_id":"homework-geoff-dyer-9781837262014","title":"Homework","description":"Born 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on a mono record player, Geoff's dad discovers it's a portal to endless expenditure and funding for records is abruptly withdrawn.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.","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51786902405408,"sku":"9781837262014","price":10.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781837262014_2464341.jpg?v=1780642289","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/homework-geoff-dyer-9781837262014","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
