Bartleby: The Scrivener | Herman Melville

1. The only thing I don't like about retirement is that I couldn't do it my entire life. 😂 What I liked least about teaching was dealing with some honors' parents. “Why did Johnny only get 98/100 on his essay? Please explain in detail why you took off 2 points.“ 🙄
2. Tagged. It's not a book but a very long short story. Whenever tasked to do anything, Bartleby would answer, “I'd prefer not to.“
All are tagged.

TheSpineView Kudos to you for having to deal with the parents. Thanks for playing! 1mo

Suet624 I‘m with you on retirement. Why didn‘t I start sooner? 1mo

EclecticBookLover I had to read this in college, and I didn't care for it. Now, having more life experiences, I understand Bartleby so much more! 1y

Yeah, I think I need this bag. Or as a poster to put over my face at (ahem) certain times.

An eerie tale of passive resistance, nonconformism, civil disobedience. Bartelby
efficient employee, forlorn outsider, one day just refuses to carry on at his mindless task, offering his boss this explanation: I would prefer not to. And ends up going to jail.

Eggs Sounds intriguing-some days that‘s me…but a job can be a prison too….. 3y

LindaLappin @Eggs so true 3y
