Bartleby, the Scrivener
By Herman Melville
What would happen if you always answered “I would prefer not to” when asked to do something? Bartleby knows about this. He works as a law copyist in Wall Street, but now he refuses to do any task at all. No matter how weird Bartleby seems to be, he also looks quite lonely and it worries people, especially when he starts refusing more crucial necessities. This story takes you from laughter to melancholy, questioning the limits of isolation and empathy. So meet the strange Bartleby and learn all about his quiet refusal that unsettles an entire world of work!
