| adam_text | In his long-awaited first novel, American literary master
George Saunders delivers his most original, transcendent,
and moving work yet. Unfolding in a graveyard over the
course of a single night, narrated by a dazzling chorus of
voices, Lincoln in the Bardo is an experience unlike any
other—for no one but Saunders could conceive it.
February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old.
The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has
begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Mean-
while, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son,
Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a
matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie
dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My
poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president
says at the time. “God has called him home.” Newspapers
report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns, alone, to the
crypt several times to hold his boy’s body.
From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders
spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that
breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a
thrilling, supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying.
Willie Lincoln finds himself in a strange purgatory where
ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre
acts of penance. Within this transitional state—called, in
the Tibetan tradition, the bardo—a monumental struggle
erupts over young Willie’s soul.
Lincoln in the Bardo is an astonishing feat of imagination
and a bold step forward from one of the most important
and influential writers of his generation. Formally daring,
generous in spirit, deeply concerned with matters of the
heart, it is a testament to fiction’s ability to speak honestly
and powerfully to the things that really matter to us.
Saunders has invented a thrilling new form that deploys a
kaleidoscopic, theatrical panorama of voices—living and
dead, historical and invented—to ask a timeless, profound
question: How do we live and love when we know that
everything we love must end?
