I could tell you, but I prefer not to.

No really I love that story! I'm not sure how to answer your question about the writing style, but the theme of non-compliance is so well done.

It is one of the first great stories of corporate discontent. The emptiness of modern business life is an important theme.
Bartleby detaches himself from the world in stages, beginning with his statement "I would prefer not", and ending with his ultimate withdrawal from life by his choice of not eating.
