Post-war Britain can seem increasingly distant, yet Geoff Dyer's delightful new memoir, Homework, brings it back to life with verve and wit. Recalling his working-class Cheltenham childhood of the SOs and 60s, Dyer (a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, known for his prize-winning range) joins Charlotte Higgins to discuss coming of age, the floods of change, and how the pivotal influence of grammar school altered his life's trajectory.
