the abortion: an historical romance 1966
1971.
the san francisco library of unpublished books is a haven for the unpublishable—a library for books in any form and condition, from children's dramatic tales written in crayon to elders' memoirs about their ordinary lives. this fictional library catalogs all unwanted books. this serves as the backdrop for “the abortion”, where a reclusive librarian embarks on a romance with a woman named vida, whose immense beauty contrasts with her apparent awkward and shy demeanor. their affair leads to a trip to tijuana to resolve vida's pregnancy. richard brautigan's fourth novel is a parody of genre conventions.
