Got to look for it years ago, because of a quote here, the one with the pineapples in space. The escapist library, eratically run by a cultured alcoholic who hates people and the complications of the modern world is the perfect setting when you need a zany break. The often ranting librarian/owner adopts an ex-accountant who went through a breakdown, and their contrasting duo is arbitrated by their misfit friend, while she keeps on banging about integrating herself into the standardized society. The plots are sometimes hazy or a bit poetic, but still keep together. The actors are big on their art, coming from standup (the 2 unlikely friends) and they all have strong personalities. Also surrealistic at times, feels like modern literature, feet on earth, but expanding into surreal.
