After a botched attempt to destroy Trash Mountain with a homemade firebomb, Ben begins a years-long infiltration that finds him dropping out of school to work alongside homeless trash-pickers, and then, finally, interning at the very place he meant to destroy. Ben's boss there, a charismatic would-be titan of sanitation, forces Ben to choose between providing for his family and sticking to his terroristic principals. With dark humor, Trash Mountain reflects on life in small southern cities in decline, and on the search for meaning among young people without adult examples."-- $c Provided by publisher. 586 $a "Winner, Red Hen Press Fiction Award 650 0 $a Young men $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Southern States $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Southern States. 650 0 $a Black humor (Literature). 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012023647.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AA5647CB42211E9B815892E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
