«Bartleby y compañía» is the novel by Enrique Vila-Matas, published by Quinteto in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Vila-Matas starts from Melville's scrivener, Bartleby, whose «preferiría no hacerlo» becomes an emblem of those who abandon writing. Through these pages pass authors such as Rulfo, Rimbaud and Salinger, and the question of the reasons for their silence. An inquiry into not writing, voluntary renunciation and its place in contemporary letters.
Published in 2002, it is part of the Quinteto Bolsillo collection, number 16.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the mechanisms of literary creation and in the figure of the writer who decides to fall silent.
