Bartleby & Co.,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A marvelous novel by one of Spain's most important contemporary authors, in which a clerk in a Barcelona office takes us on a romping tour of world literature. In Bartleby & Co., an enormously enjoyable novel, Enrique VilaMatas tackles the theme of silence in literature: the writers and nonwriters who, like the scrivener Bartleby of the Herman Melville story, in answer to any question or demand, replies: 'I would prefer not to.' Addressing such 'artists of refusal' as Robert Walser, Robert Musil, Arthur Rimbaud, Marcel Duchamp, Herman Melville, and J. D. Salinger, Bartleby & Co. could be described as a meditation: a walking tour through the annals of literature. Written as a series of footnotes (a nonwork itself), Bartleby embarks on such questions as why do we write, why do we exist? The answer lies in the novel itself: told from the point of view of a hermetic hunchback who has no luck with women, and is himself unable to write, Bartleby is utterly engaging, a work of profound and philosophical beauty.
