Book Description
The narrator of Love and Garbage has temporarily abandoned his work-in-progress - an essay on Kafka - and exchanged his writer's pen for the orange vest of a Prague road-sweeper. As he works, he meditates on Czechoslovakia, on Kafka, on life, on art and, obsessively, on his passionate and adulterous love affair with the sculptress Daria. Gradually he admits the impossibility of being at once an honest writer and an honest lover, and with that agonising discovery comes a moment of choice.

Pages : 338

Book Description
A Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist takes readers on a surprising tour of America’s biggest export, our most prodigious product, and our greatest legacy: our trash The average American produces 102 tons of garbage across a lifetime and $50 billion in squandered riches are rolled to the curb each year. But our bins are just the starting point for a strange, impressive, mysterious, and costly journey that may also represent the greatest untapped opportunity of the century. In Garbology, Edward Humes investigates trash—what’s in it; how much we pay for it; how we manage to create so much of it; and how some families, communities, and even nations are finding a way back from waste to discover a new kind of prosperity. Along the way , he introduces a collection of garbage denizens unlike anyone you’ve ever met: the trash-tracking detectives of MIT, the bulldozer-driving sanitation workers building Los Angeles’ Garbage Mountain landfill, the artists residing in San Francisco’s dump, and the family whose annual trash output fills not a dumpster or a trash can, but a single mason jar. Garbology reveals not just what we throw away, but who we are and where our society is headed. Waste is the one environmental and economic harm that ordinary working Americans have the power to change—and prosper in the process. Garbology is raising awareness of trash consumption and is sparking community-wide action through One City One Book programs around the country. It is becoming an increasingly popular addition to high school and college syllabi and is being adopted by many colleges and universities for First Year Experience programs.

Book Description
In a not so distant future, and in a place not too far away, nestled between the hills of the Opes Valley, there rests the small town of Caelum. Yet it is beyond the pines and the poplars where the most unlikely of stories unfolds. Within a hidden refuge made of what some would call mere trash, where one person's waste quickly becomes another's mortar or walls, a place called Garbage City is brought to life. It is here amidst the garbage bag drapery, and plastic bottle bird feeders, that three wayward souls who would have never met any other way find themselves learning all about the power of perspective. Timothy Standing is a hundred and three, living alone in the woods with only his dog Sir Chester Barksalot, an isolate lonely man too far removed from society. Alexandra North is twenty three, a girl who is looking for love in all the wrong places, and whose father just happens to be one of the wealthiest people in all of Caelum. James Storey is thirty three, a reporter for the Daily Times in the Big City who just can't quite seem to follow the rules, and not to mention has a bad habit of telling the truth. It is within the forests of the Opes Valley, in that magical place called Garbage City, that these three souls learn all about looking at not only garbage in a whole new light, but more importantly, what it means to truly love. This is the story of how each came to learn something new about Love & Garbage.
