Black Books

Bernard Black is the foul tempered, eccentric and drink-fuelled proprietor of a grubby bookshop, Black Books.

Bernard is grumpy, very grumpy. He doesn't quite belong in this world and has created a sanctuary within the confines of the shop, preferring the company of books to people. Not that he sells many books. He loves them too much and doesn't love his customers enough. In fact he hates them. In fact he hates everyone except Fran and Manny.

It is only through the persistent intervention of his companions, Manny and Fran, that Bernard is persuaded to engage in any kind of social interaction at all (if you don't count drinking). Without them, he would undoubtedly collapse in a self-combusting pool of vitriol.

If you're an outgoing, life affirming, zest-filled, warm human being, stay away from Bernard Black. He will be mean to you.
