A forma usada por Saunders é estranha (e original, há que dizê-lo) e, inicialmente, deixou-me de pé atrás, mas a verdade é que o livro me tocou mais vezes do que muitos livros de estrutura mais convencional. E , se a literatura se quer para mexer com o leitor, Saunders conseguiu. Tocante muitas vezes, cómico outras tantas, Lincoln no Bardo foi uma bela surpresa. Voltar a Saunders é questão de tempo.

This book has a major trigger. Do your homework. Know the subject matter. It's not about only about Lincoln, the president.

esta novela se podría llamar Lincoln en el Páramo por todo lo que tiene de Comala, una Divina Comedia (tristísima, conmovedora) contada por la Antología de Spoon River. lo que más me gustó: el cruce multitudinario entrecruzado por los testimonios históricos que deben juntar polvo en las bibliotecas presidenciales, y sobre todo la voz de Lincoln. qué desafío que era, y con cuanta altura (o más bien qué cerca del suelo) responde Saunders.

The Audio version was a small Tour de Force that perhaps deserved a higher rating than my three stars. I mean I did like it but I did not fall in love with this mix of Gaimanish Graveyard tales, with history titbits. I am pretty sure I failed the book and not vice versa.

This book is so odd but it’s worth the read! I definitely shed a few tears at the end as well. A lovely meditation on the largess of what life has to offer and appreciating it all, even with the ugly parts.

Really great writing style (which I expected) and a really intriguing narrative choice; the way the story was told was really unique and it made the whole reading experience so much more engaging. quite really enjoyed it, even if it's literally just president lincoln x the good place.

no bc this book was even better the second time around, mostly bc the first time you read it you kinda have to be content with being confused for a bit and because I knew what was going on this time around I got to appreciate it all a lot more. Like colson whitehead said, this book is “a luminous feat of generosity and humanism.” A creative feat as well. I sobbed AGAIN even though I knew what was happening. A magnificent, wonderful, and strange read. changed the way I think about books, about everything really. To me this is everything contemporary literature should do and should be. I love you mr George Saunders ❤️
