Garbage Man

"Mason Brand has fled his life as a celebrated photographer and renounced his past. He is living rough, as a hermit in the Welsh hills. But something happens to him among the mossy oaks. He begins to hear 'the calling.' Years later, giving society a final change, Mason is living within sight of Shreve's colossal landfill dump. He hears 'the calling' again. This time he will heed it, and it will lead him. For he is called to assist in the birthing of a terrible child - the Garbage Man"--P. [4] of cover.
