George Saunders is a renowned American author. He was awarded the Booker Prize in 2017 for his novel "Lincoln in the Bardo". This book tells the story of the son of American president Abraham Lincoln, who died of fever at the age of 11. After his death, he finds himself in the bardo, the border limbo between the world of the living and the dead.
This historical-mystical novel is truly mesmerizing, and Saunders' incredible craftsmanship will captivate anyone who reads this novel. The year is 1862, in the midst of the American Civil War. But President Lincoln's thoughts are with his eleven-year-old critically ill son Willie. Despite an optimistic prognosis, the boy dies. In Buddhism, the bardo is the border state between life and death. Thus, Willy finds himself in surreal limbo, where endless ghosts swarm and whisper, and the boy finds himself captured by the goings-on in the interworld. Drawing on real historical facts, George Saunders has created a truly brilliant novel, tragic, multi-genre; a novel about family, eternity, and filled with important questions about life, death, and reality.
