About the book
An experimental and deeply emotional work of fiction that imagines Abraham Lincoln on a spiritual journey. The narrative takes place in the Bardo—an intermediate state inspired by Tibetan tradition—where Lincoln encounters other troubled souls and tries to come to terms with the death of his son Willie during the Civil War.
With an innovative form that blends dialogue, historical documents, and ghostly voices, the novel explores themes of grief, guilt, power, and humanity, offering a singular perspective on one of the most tragic moments in American history.
