«Bartleby et Compagnie» is the novel by Enrique Vila-Matas, published in 2002 by Christian Bourgois in paperback (218 pages, in French).
An employee who wrote a love novel returns to that trauma and seeks out negative writers: unfinished works, editorial failures, pseudonyms and truncated vocations. In footnotes to an invisible text, Vila-Matas gathers those heirs of Bartleby and places renunciation at the centre of the project of writing.
French translation by Éric Beaumatin. The original work, «Bartleby y compañía», appeared in 2000 and won the Premi Ciutat de Barcelona.
A work for readers interested in literature that reflects on books, writing and authors who chose silence.
Enrique Vila-Matas is a Spanish writer.
