"I would prefer not to."
This is what Bartleby, the Scrivener says whenever asked to do a job by his boss, a Wall Street lawyer.
But who is Bartleby? Why did he suddenly stop working? Why doesn’t he leave the office…ever?

An excellent but depressing short story.

Unorthodox and absurd.
An interesting concept of a book. I don't know if this is just a concept that doesn't translate well into today's day and age but supposedly this book is meant to be a short narrative on non-violent protesting and resistance to capitalism.
I will say however that while that was the intent of the author, I don't know how well I was able to capture that intent. Maybe it's because I'm already indoctrinated to consider that such resistance would not work but to me I just felt the two characters to be beyond unrealistic when it came to how they acted. In fact it felt more to methat there was a supernatural or demonic element to the interactions that would have fit the narrative better.
Either way, a short story that I was glad was over when it was because I don't know how much more of it I could really read. Not much more to say about this, except that I'm surprised it's not more known as a meme content because the response while not profound is definitely trollish for sure.

P.s. This is definitely gonna mess with my average date of publication of the books I've read 

Eens met Bartleby.

It was weirder than I remembered. 

"Conceive a man by nature and misfortune prone to a pallid hopelessness, can any business seem more fitted to heighten it than that of continually handling dead letters, and assorting them for the flames? For by the cartload they are annually burned. Sometimes from out of the folded paper the pale clerk takes a ring- the finger it was meant for, perhaps, molders in the grave; a bank note sent in swiftest charity- he whom it would relieve nor eats nor hungers any more; pardon for those who died despairing; hope for those who died unhoping; good tidings for those who died stifled by unrelieved calamities. On errands of life, these letters speed to death."
