A twenty-one-year-old would-be writer, John Passfield, spends his last few months as a garbage collector on the streets of his home town, St. Thomas, Ontario, in the summer of Canada's Centennial year, 1967. As he works, he captures the imagery of his life so far -- and of his upcoming marriage and pending career as a high school teacher -- to the imagery of the great books he is reading, all while in pursuit of building the perfect load of garbage.
