ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“Lincoln in the Bardo” by George Saunders is a novel that explores the grief of President Abraham Lincoln following the death of his young son, Willie. Set in the afterlife, the story takes place in the Bardo, a liminal space where spirits linger, unable to move on. The novel combines historical events with fictional narratives, as Lincoln's nightly visits to his son’s grave intersect with the experiences of the spirits in the Bardo. Themes of love, loss, duty, and the human condition are examined, as the characters grapple with their unresolved emotions and attachments to the living world.
