The novel “Lincoln in the Bardo” is the debut novel by American author George Saunders, which won the Booker Prize. The book centers on President Abraham Lincoln visiting the crypt of his recently deceased son, Willie. Taking place over the course of a single night in 1862, Lincoln arrives at the tomb where the souls of the deceased, lingering in an intermediate state (the bardo), observe him and comment on the unfolding events. Blending historical facts with fantastical elements, the novel offers a profound meditation on grief, loss, and mortality.
