I've read this 'story' several times and I must say I liked it very much. Did anyone here read it/want to discuss it?

Ignotus
Hmm. . .I believe I've heard of it. Then again maybe I haven't. What's it about?


Jerry
It's a short story that depicts the final days of a scrivener (law writer) and the transformation that takes place within his last employer, Bartleby. He's efficient and diligent. However, when he's asked to do something, he says "I would prefer not to." The tale ends with his death. Those are basically the main points of the story.
