Bartleby, der Schreiber #[nn]
This graphic novel adapts Herman Melville's classic short story 'Bartleby, the Scrivener' into a visual narrative, staying true to the original tale of a Wall Street law clerk who famously responds to requests with 'I would prefer not to.' Published by Splitter Verlag in 2021, this edition presents the story in a German-language graphic novel format, capturing the existential and psychological depth of Melville's work through sequential art.
A visually striking adaptation of Herman Melville’s classic short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener," this 2021 issue from Splitter Verlag features José Luis Munuera as both writer and artist, with inks and cover art by him, colors by Sedyas, and lettering by Stephan Kempers. The story centers on the enigmatic office worker Bartleby and his quiet resistance to routine, rendered in a distinctive, atmospheric style.
