Ideal for readers who appreciate offbeat narratives exploring loneliness, creativity, and intimate human connections within a quietly surreal setting.
A reclusive young man works in a San Francisco library for unpublishable books. The librarian makes her feel comfortable, and together they live in the back of the library until a trip to Tijuana changes them in ways neither of them had ever expected.

Description
A reclusive young man works in a San Francisco library for unpublishable books. Life's losers, an astonishing number of whom seem to be writers, can bring their manuscripts to the library, where they will be welcomed, registered, and shelved. They will not be read, but they will be cherished.
In comes Vida, with her manuscript. Her book is about her gorgeous body, in which she feels uncomfortable. The librarian makes her feel comfortable, and together they live in the back of the library until the trip to Tijuana changes them in ways neither of them had ever expected.
The Abortion by Richard Brautigan explores themes of acceptance, comfort, and unexpected change in the most unusual settings.
