Condition: Acceptable. Please see the images for more details. Cover art: John Hendrix Blurb: “MY NAME IS TETLEY ABEDNEGO AND I AM THE MOST BELOVED GIRL IN GARBAGETOWN. I am twenty-nine years old Everything is the same and everything is different, and I suppose that is what it means to stay alive this long. I live with my very best friends on a janky old pontoon boat... I do not often try to approach the shore If I set one foot on the beach, I'm fair game. People could do anything they want to me and I couldn't stop them. That's the law. It's an old law by now. Almost just a habit. Some days I think they've probably all for-gotten. Some days I smarten up and stay right where I am. I don't blame them. I'm not angry. Everyone uses my name for a swear word but it's so completely fine. They don't know I'm beloved. But / know and that's plenty. -FROM THE PAST IS RED”
