The Garbage Man

By Dennis Adams

I used to work as a garbage man, so I decided to write a book that no one else has ever done before. So I hope y'all enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. I do appreciate anybody who has worked as a garbage man or otherwise, but it is a job. So please do not be a shamed of what you do for living! Just be proud that you have a job to support your family. Some people don't even have a job. So even if you get mad, please take time to think before you do something drastic! And I really hope y'all love this book as much as I loved writing it. So we hope there's many more books to write before you read. So until next time. God bless y'all!

Dennis Adams

Dennis Adams was born into a two-veteran military family and now works amid the Parris Island, Marine Corps Air Station, Naval Hospital and National Cemetery at the Beaufort County, SC, County Library. He has written weekly columns for the local newspapers and now contributes a bilingual article (in English and Spanish) to the monthly La Isla magazine. Dennis has recently completed his first novel, Graywake, a surrealistic impression of the Appalachian side of his family.The American Letters are the first-hand account of a not-so-innocent abroad, who travels to a French village for an international convention of towns who share the name, “Beaufort.” He quickly learns lessons never taught in the textbooks about customs and attitudes, from hosts who know the true meaning of “hospitalité.” A journey to Paris caps the narrative, with quite different surprises in store. The completely bilingual text in English and French is a useful resource for learners of either language.Dennis Adams est né dans une famille militaire de deux veterans et travaille à la Bibliothèque de Comté de Beaufort, Caroline du Sud -- au beau milieu de Parris Island, la Station Aérienne du Corps des Marines, l’Hôpital Naval et le Cimitière National. Il a écrit des rubriques hebdomadaires pour les journals du coin et contribue un article bilingue (en anglais et espagnol) à la revue mensuelle La Isla. Dennis vient d’écrire son premier roman, Graywake, une impression surréaliste du côté appalachien de sa famille.Les letters américaines donnent une première approche aux aventures d’un pas-aussi-innocent à l’étranger, qui voyage à un village français pour assistir à un rassemblement international de villes qui partagent le nom “Beaufort.” Il apprend vite des leçons de culture et d’attitude que n’offrent jamais les manuels, que lui enseignent des hôtes qui savent bien ce qui veut dire “l’hospitalité.” Un voyage à Paris couronne le vouyage, avec d’autres surprises. Le texte, complètement bilingue, sert de ressource utile pour ceux qui apprennent l’anglais ou le français.Pictured: Dennis (with MilSpeak Books editor Sally Drumm) just after signing with MilSpeak Books.
