About this audiobook

A Wall Street lawyer hires a new copyist, Bartleby, who works hard and says little. Then one day, when asked to do a small task, Bartleby answers: 'I would prefer not to.' He says it again and again, and the lawyer does not know how to respond. Herman Melville's 1853 story is quiet, funny and troubling, read by Daniel Pagone. An hour and forty-two minutes.
