PositiveCleveland Review of BooksIt is a strange book. Earnest ... Homework is a story, we are to understand, not just of Dyer’s childhood, but of England in the 60s ... I expected to be annoyed by this book, in the way that I always think I am annoyed by Dyer. And then I always remember that, actually, I’m not: I admire him, and that is what annoys me.
