Description
Book SynopsisAn inside look at the crap job of all crap jobs--garbage collector--by Derf Backderf, author of the critically acclaimed, award-winning national bestseller, My Friend Dahmer
Trade Review“A downbeat but entertaining ode to the odiferous realities of getting by.” * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
“Backderf’s (My Friend Dahmer) detailed and grimy art is perfect for this raucous piece of infotainment about the crappiest of necessary crap jobs.” * Library Journal *
“More than anything else, the book is funny, very funny. At times, it’s a laugh-out-loud kind of funny rarely found in graphic novels. It might even make you think.” * The Cleveland Plain Dealer online *
“The microcosm of Backderf’s humor-rich, coming-of-age story expands toward larger social and cultural themes, including the idea that ‘we all contribute to the staggering, never-ending accumulation of waste on this planet.’” * Shelf Awareness (starred review) *
“Intriguing, hilarious, and stinky.” * Entertainment Weekly *
“It’s all far more entertaining than it sounds, thanks to the likeability of J.B. and his at-loose-ends roommates . . . and Derf’s slightly off-kilter, pleasantly ungainly drawings.” * Booklist *
“Trashed is both entertaining and unnerving.” * The A.V. Club *
“Fun, funny, gross and engrossing.” * The New York Journal of Books *
