Sayers on Trash (Also, Why the 'L'?)
from The Dorothy L. Sayers Podcast Hosted by Lindsey Scholl
"The Other Six Deadly Sins" and "Why Work?" are two lectures-turned-essays in which Sayers talks about trash, or rubbish. She connects the problem of rusting piles of tin cans to two problems in man's nature: gluttony and avarice.
