GEORGE SAUNDERS at Harvard Book Store

Harvard Book Store welcomes short story master GEORGE SAUNDERS—author of Pastoralia and Tenth of December, a finalist for the National Book Award—for a discussion of his long-awaited first novel, Lincoln in the Bardo.

With Lincoln in the Bardo, George Saunders delivers his most original, transcendent, and moving work yet. Unfolding in a graveyard over the course of a single night, narrated by a dazzling chorus of voices, Lincoln in the Bardo is an experience unlike any other—an astonishing feat of imagination and a bold step forward from one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Saunders has invented a thrilling new form that deploys a kaleidoscopic, theatrical panorama of voices—living and dead, historical and invented—to ask a timeless, profound question: How do we live and love when we know that everything we love must end?
