"Where once was a beautiful wood now stands a desolate field smothered in ash and garbage, and here a young man named Waller has terrorizing encounters with grotesque figures named 'the garbagemen.' As Waller fixates on these desperate men who eke out a living by rooting through their nation's waste, he imagines they are also digging through its past as their government erases its history and walls itself off from the outside world"--

Wolfgang Hilbig (1941-2007) was one of the major German writers to emerge in the postwar era. Though raised in East Germany, he proved so troublesome to the authorities that in 1985 he was granted permission to emigrate west. The author of over 20 books, he received virtually all of Germany's major literary prizes, capped by the 2002 Georg B?hner Prize, Germany's highest literary honor.
