A review by surlyseahag
Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville
3.0
It's interesting how different people interpret the same text. The reviews and analyses of this story vary greatly from person to person - some say it's a comedy, others say it's a metaphor for economics, and in the class I am taking, it's said to be about autism.
I am taking a class on autism in fiction. We read essays written by those who believe that Melville was on the spectrum. With that in mind, some believe that his character Bartleby is as well. I suppose there is no way to know for sure, but it's another interesting interpretation.
