Description: In 1862, Abraham Lincoln’s 11-year-old son, Willie, died. Newspapers reported that a grief-stricken Lincoln returned to the crypt several times alone to hold his boy’s body. From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a thrilling, supernatural realm that is both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself in a strange purgatory, where ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre acts of penance. Within this transitional state—called the bardo in the Tibetan tradition—a monumental struggle erupts over young Willie’s soul.
