Book Synopsis
What makes trash trash? How do we decide what to throw away? Driven by these questions and others, Samuel Amago takes us through the streets and alleys of Spain, sorting through recycling bins, libraries, social media, bookstores, and message boards in search of things that have been forgotten, jettisoned, forsaken.

Trade Review
An outstanding study of the production and representation of trash in contemporary Spain that provides an intriguing analysis of how society uses and refuses the material objects of everyday life. " —Jessica A. Folkart, Virginia Tech, author of Liminal Fiction at the Edge of the Millennium: The Ends of Spanish Identity
