Description

This book presents waste as an aesthetic category that introduces an arsy-versy world where detritus is precious.

This aesthetic is applied in the second part to etymology, poking through the 'paternal dungheaps' of words, and tracing their origins not to Eden but to Babel, puns, and word play.
