Lincoln in the Bardo A Novel

the 2017 Booker Prizewinning novel, Lincoln in the Bardo

Just because you mentioned Lincoln and the Bardo, which is about figures in the afterlife. You know, when I started reading Vigil, the new novel, and there were more figures from the afterlife sort of shepherding someone along, I thought he's doing angels again.

He's one of my favorite writers of short fiction, of essays. He wrote the beautiful novel, Lincoln in the Bardo, which won the 2017 Booker Prize.

If heaven, according to the talking heads, is the place where nothing ever happens, the Bardo, according to George Saunders, is as jampacked and frantic as Costco on Black Friday. Saunders set much of his magnificent 2017 debut novel, Lincoln in the Bardo, in the actual mausoleum and surrounding cemetery, where in February of 1862, Abraham Lincoln sat cradling the body of his 11yearold son, Willie.

For those of you who don't know, George won a man booker prize for his extraordinary novel Lincoln in the Bardot.

Any of that novel Lincoln in the bar has something like 160 different perspectives and that's what I came to feel was you know if you drop into a conference room on a given day so there's 12 people in there the conventional fictional way of saying it is the sun came in through the window into the conference room where Darren Smith was preparing a presentation

You may know him for his 2017 novel, Lincoln and the Bardo, which won the Booker Prize.

So, this was true in my previous novel, Lincoln and the Bardo, I thought, just get as well informed as a pretty well informed amateur so that when you invent, you're not inventing totally divorced from reality.
