Lincoln in the Bardo (George Saunders)
Incredible read, Saunders is one of a short list of male authors I'll always read, ha!
History
I love a book that makes me ask—multiple times—in the first few chapters “Where are we? What are we doing again?” To call Saunders’ prose inventive vastly undersells this book, but man. It’s so inventive! And interesting and heartbreaking and exhilarating. A masterpiece of modern literature for sure.

“This book has a large, talented cast, many of whom are comedians. The readers bring all sorts of performance decisions to the jokes (and the terror, and the sorrow, and the rest of it) and it feels like another dimension is added to the work. Saunders is often so dark, and this book is dark, but the voices help the listener understand light shining through it.”

“This book sits apart from most anything I’ve read. It’s artistic, unraveling, and makes me happy to know novels like this exist.”
Mike Troiano
“Stop it, George. You're breaking our hearts.”
