George Saunders returns to Square Books for a reading from his new novel
Lincoln in the Bardo. Set in a graveyard after the death of Abraham Lincoln's son, Willie, this novel tells the story from the perspective of the spirits who witnessed Abe Lincoln return to his boy's tomb after the funeral
. The deft tale exists within the Bardo, a realm in Buddhist spirituality akin to purgatory. It's written through a range of different voices and reads like a fictionalized oral history of the events surrounding the premature death of Willie Lincoln.
