But what provides the novel with its action, with most of its characters, with its moral weight, is the bardo itself. My instinct is the latter, perhaps with a useful dash of tradition. Once the novel picks up steam about halfway through and some of the principles that govern the bardo have become clear, the story turns into one of the sort Saunders has been telling his entire career: a rescue and an escape.
He should move along, we sense, to his next incarnation; with most ghosts of the young, they say, it happens within a matter of hours, or less.
A real caper ensues. Whether Willie Lincoln will leave the bardo is something of a MacGuffin, however.
Likely Stories: Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
What, then, is this novel about? The novel belongs less to the Lincolns than to the ghosts who tell the story. Hans, Roger, and the Reverend do most of the talking but dozens of others have speaking parts, and we glimpse bits of their life stories, often delivered in snappy contentious dialogue. The novel has two narrative modes: monologues and dialogue by the ghosts with the speakers named at the end of each block of text; and fragments from primary and secondary accounts, letters, diaries, memoirs, and contemporary and modern histories hello, Doris Kearns Goodwin , many of which have been modified or fabricated by Saunders.
The effects of this polyphonic approach can be dizzying. Saunders is one of the most thrilling prose writers alive. Tough shit. Hans is a printer who at the age of 46 married an year-old bride.

These sorrows accumulate in lyric and often comic detail. When Lincoln returns to the crypt, the ghosts gather in a crowd around him.
These include the ghosts of former slaves buried in a nearby mass grave. As the ghost of the slave Thomas Havens thinks of it:. An opening book. That had just been opened up somewhat wider. By sorrow.

And—by us. By all of us, black and white, who had so recently mass-inhabited him. Eventually, I'm anxious to get back to the first project bolstered by new ideas and solutions to my character's problems.

The most challenging for me has been learning the conventions of fiction writing especially when those conventions are different from the conventions of academic work.
