This is a strange little book about a clerk who decides he doesn‘t feel like working anymore, but also he doesn‘t feel like leaving the office. Like EVER! It‘s from the boss‘ point of view, as he tries to decide how to deal with Bartleby‘s constant statement: “I would prefer not to.”
I‘m not really sure what to make of this, which is what the blurb says essentially.
