Homework: A Memoir traces Geoff Dyer's childhood in 1960s and 70s Cheltenham, the only child of a dinner lady and a sheet-metal worker. With characteristic comic affection, Dyer recalls Airfix kits, conkers, swimming baths and the pivotal 11-plus exam that reshaped his future, offering a vivid portrait of postwar English class and opportunity.. The Last Days of Roger Federer is an ingeniously structured meditation on endings, late style and last works. Dyer sets his own encounter with late middle age against the closing chapters of figures ranging from Nietzsche and Beethoven to Bob Dylan, Annie Dillard and, of course, Roger Federer, blending memoir, criticism and badinage into something wholly original.. Broadsword Calling Danny Boy is Dyer's affectionate, scene-by-scene comic tour through Where Eagles Dare, the classic wartime action film starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. Equal parts film criticism and love letter, it finds fresh, funny insight in every snowy set piece.. Key Benefits. Three acclaimed works in one collection: memoir, cultural essay and film criticism.
