Underneath all this trash talk is an avant-garde book about traveling. Royte takes her readers on a voyage guided by none other than, her garbage.
Elizabeth Royte is the recipient of the 1999 Alicia Patterson Foundation fellowship and has written for esteemed magazines such as Harper’s, National Geographic, and Rolling Stone. Garbage Land is published by Little, Brown & Co.
