Synopsis "Bartleby y compañia (in Spanish)"

«No hay libro más adecuado para hablar de la aproximación de Vila-Matas a la literatura que su Bartleby y compañía, obra de literatura comparada por excelencia». Antonio Tabucchi
«Preferiría no hacerlo».
Cuando Herman Melville dio vida al personaje del escribiente Bartleby creó sin saberlo el modelo para algunas de las más brillantes plumas de la literatura universal, escritores que dejaron de escribir sin que nadie pudiera saber nunca por qué. A caballo entre la novela, el ensayo y el diario personal en una original fórmula que lleva el sello inconfundible de su autor, Bartleby y compañía es una reflexión con una pregunta como telón de fondo: ¿por qué renunciar a la literatura? Quizá las grandes obras se escondan detrás de esos silencios que siguen a la famosa cita de Melville. Quizá, después de todo, sea preferible no escribir.
