Lincoln in the Bardo [ang.]

Autor: Saunders, George

February 1862. The American Civil War rages while President Lincoln`s beloved eleven-year-old son lies gravely ill. Days later, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns to the crypt several times alone to hold his boy`s body. From this seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of ralism, entering a supernatural domain both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself trapped in a transitional realm - called, in Tibetan tradition, the bardo - where ghosts mingle, squabble and commiserate, and a monumental struggle erupts over his soul.
