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.
