Would you like to discuss Bartleby the Scrivener, /lit/?

The poor little weirdo. What is his deal?

He's the American Akaky Akakievich, just wants to make copies and be left alone.

Read it in freeman lit. My professor did everything he could to trash it, but I liked it.

You're just begging for a particular reference in response to that, aren't you?
Okay, well here you go:
/lit/ isn/t well-read, so good luck.

I'd rather not

its okay
i read it in english class so everybody wanted to talk about "wat it mean?? :DD" but i thought the prose + descriptions of bartleby were the best part

If you guys like Bartleby, you should read Wakefield by Hawthorne.

It's at the same time less weird and weirder
