About this Event
is a memoir that attempts to convince people to "stop imagining that your garbage magically disappears" . . .
This fascinating no-bullshit account of twenty years in waste management paints a vivid portrait of the heroic labor, anarchic spirit, and violent conditions of the people who keep our cities clean.
Paré-Poupart’s story is atypical: he started working as a garbageman to pay for school, and after earning graduate degrees and working in more “respectable” fields, he is still on a truck — out of love for the physical rush, for his rough-and-tumble colleagues, and for an honesty and freedom that no other job has yet given him.
Join us on Tuesday, Septemeber 29th for an evening of communal discussion. We hope to see you there.
