Lincoln in the Bardo

Lincoln in the Bardo

by George Saunders

2018

In 1862 Washington, President Lincoln grapples with the death of his young son, Willie. What follows is not a conventional history, but a spectral journey into a purgatorial realm where the recently departed linger. This profoundly imaginative novel plunges into that in-between space, revealing a chorus of spectral voices wrestling with regret, longing, and the very nature of existence, all while Lincoln himself seeks solace in the earth where his son rests.
