{"product_id":"homework-3","title":"Homework","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  But far from being a story of hardship overcome, \u003ci\u003eHomework \u003c\/i\u003eis 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 \u003ci\u003eHomework\u003c\/i\u003e, Dyer returns to the source and asks what it means to live through an era of complex social transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":56539135803736,"sku":"9781837262014","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/homework-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
