Title : Bartleby and Company - Enrique Vila-Matas - book
Summary :
Twenty-five years after writing a romance novel, a clerk returns to this ancient trauma and starts a sort of journal, in search of these countless negative writers who fill the history of writing with their deafening silence.
Unfinished or unfinishable books, editorial failures, posthumous successes, authors of a single book, late confessions of an unfulfilled vocation, pseudonym maniacs, incapable adults, desperate a priori, partisans of human brevity to the point of choosing life over letters or even taking it away from themselves out of spite, militants of the ineffable, or consenting negroes, all these second cousins of Bartleby form a constellation from which, without a doubt, the best have emerged, when they have not simply remained there.
