The Book Club: Geoff Dyer, the Proust of prog rock and Airfix

from Best of the Spectator

My guest in this week’s Book Club podcast is Geoff Dyer, who’s talking about his memoir Homework, in which he describes growing up as an only child in suburban Cheltenham, and how the eleven-plus and the postwar settlement irrevocably changed his life – propelling him away from the timid and unfulfilled world of his working-class parents. Geoff, in this new book, bids fair to be the Proust of Airfix models and prog rock. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
