Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. WELL DESERVED WINNER OF THE 2018 BOOKER PRIZE. TRUE FIRST: NO AWARD MEDAL ON FRONT. Story: The Civil War is raging; Lincoln's son has just died; Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. My poor boy, he was too good for this earth, the president says at the time. God has called him home. Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns, alone, to the crypt several times 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 supernatural realm 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, in the Tibetan tradition, the bardo a monumental struggle erupts over young Willie s soul.
