What is this book about?
George Saunders sets much of his first full-length novel within a single evening in the bardo, a space between life and rebirth. Lincoln in the Bardo uses an experimental narrative form rather than conventional historical storytelling. The novel appeared in 2017 and received the Booker Prize in the same year.
