Trash Mermaid: Essays, Stories, Recollections, Rants, and Ramblings that Came to Me by the Jersey Sea is a collection of cleverly illustrated memoir-style short stories, tasty little poems, and slice-of-life snapshots from August 2020, as seen through the eyes of empath/comedian Emma Tattenbaum-Fine during a two-week stay alone at an Airbnb in Ventnor City, New Jersey. Trash Mermaid is designed to be read at the beach, before and after collecting seashells, or in the bleak mid-winter, when you wish to go to the beach in your imagination.
