Description
A young man works in a San Francisco library for unpublishable books. Life's losers, many of whom are writers, can bring their manuscripts to the library, where they will be welcomed, registered and shelved. They won't be read, but they'll be cherished. Vida arrives with her manuscript, which is about her body and how it makes her feel uncomfortable. The librarian helps her feel more at ease, and together they live in the back of the library. A trip to Tijuana changes them both in unexpected ways. This novel explores themes of identity, comfort, and transformation through a unique and intimate story.
