They always say love comes along when you least expect it, when you're not looking for it, or both. If that's true, Ilana, the lovely but despondent protagonist of Rajiv Joseph's alternately wrenching and funny ''Animals Out of Paper,'' should meet her prince any minute now. Ilana (Kellie Overbey) is going through a divorce; her normally devoted elderly dog has run away; she has lost her apartment and moved into her appallingly messy art studio; and she hasn't answered her phone in two months. She lies around in her bathrobe all day, keeping herself alive on takeout Sichuan beef. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
