The Abortion is a novel about a California library which accepts books in any form and from any authors who wish to donate—children submit crayoned tales of toys; teens of angst; and elders memoirs—"the unwanted, the lyrical & haunted volumes of American writing". Summoned by a silver bell at all hours, the librarian catalogues the books not by Dewey, but by placement on whatever shelf the author chooses. Then Vida appears. Awkwardly shy, she's described as the world's most beautiful woman. Admen "would have made into a national park if they would have gotten their hands on her." Falling for the reclusive librarian, she gets pregnant and goes to Tijuana for an abortion.
