"After her mom hung up, Liberty kept the receiver to her ear. There was a faint sound, as of waves breaking. She could hear a distant conversation murmuring across the wires. Frequently the conversations of strangers were made quite plain to her. She had heard very clearly, for instance, a woman once describing a monkey-hair jacket she had had in her youth".

I keep picturing Liberty as being a fairly drug free version of Kitty Winn from PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK (the film). One of those sad lost 70s girls who has conversations with people who just talk at them and noone gets each other.
