What does it say about modern culture when people tip their rubbish anywhere they like and treat any street as their dining room? This thought-provoking book shows that the most telling truths about ourselves and our society are expressed in the debris that surrounds us and the rubbish flapping in the wind like Buddhist prayer flags. From the bottom up, this little book provides a thought-provoking X-ray of contemporary society's values and its failures and how we can strive to change it.
Theodore Dalrymple is a psychiatrist and former prison doctor. He is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor for City Journal and writes for the National Review and Wall Street Journal. He is the author of several books, including the acclaimed Spoilt Rotten.
"Characteristically brilliant."--Sunday Times "A little oasis of sanity."--Daily Mail "A rare voice of truth."--Spectator "Pleasurable tartness."--Guardian "Very clever."--Mail on Sunday
