" What a strange and wonderful story. Bartleby is probably the most mysterious character I've ever come across in twenty eight years of reading.

" Is this the original post-modern story or what?Bartleby is the epitome of the existential man, free to prefer to not______. Melville was a genius. I may dive into Moby Dick now.

" Especially apropos during these days of Occupy Wall Street. Seems like a lot of people are starting to look at the growing gap between rich and poor and saying I'd prefer not to live this way.

" This could be my new thing: super short classics. The same sense of accomplishment for half the work. It's a win-win, really. Win-win-win, even, if the classic in question is a truly enjoyable read, as this one is.

" Strange and uneventful, but upon further examination the story becomes interesting. I read this for my novella class at Dartmouth College.

" Une courte nouvelle sur un personnage énigmatique, silencieux engagé par un patron qui se laisse attendrir. Sympa.

" pretty much my first taste of melville and i was pleasantly surprised. enjoyable, ambiguous story with a memorable quote. amusing characters. actually, thinking about this is making me think of kafka's "blumfeld" and the ridiculous assistants.

" Con esta novelita Melville se anticipa a los personajes que después Kafka llevaría hasta las últimas consecuencias...
