Lincoln in the Bardo

2017

Man Booker Prize winner. Abraham Lincoln visits his son Willie's crypt in 1862, where ghosts in the 'bardo' — a transitional state between life and death — witness fatherly grief in its rawest form. A formally experimental meditation on love, loss, and the cost of great feeling. Widely cited in grief and fatherhood reading lists.
