Beschreibung

Marcelo a clerk in a Barcelona office who might himself have emerged from a novel by Kafka inhabits a world peopled by characters in literature. He once wrote a novel about the impossibility of love but since then he has written nothing. He has in short become a 'Bartleby' so named after the character in Herman Melville's short story who when asked to do something always replied: 'I would prefer not to.'

One day Marcelo sets out to make a search through literature for all those other possible Bartlebys and with this in mind he has the engagingly original notion of keeping a diary and writing footnotes to an invisible text. His references to authors both real and invented provide the reader with extravagant doses of humour that are at once hilarious irreverent and stimulating.
