Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders

Join us for a discussion of Lincoln in the Bardo, a mesmerising and wholly original novel by one of America’s greatest living writers, George Saunders. This book was the winner of the 2017 Booker Prize.

Told through a chorus of voices, the novel explores the profound grief of Abraham Lincoln following the death of his young son, and set against the backdrop of the eve of the American Civil War. It's unlike anything you’ve likely read before.

Don’t be put off by the unconventional opening style and structure – stick with it, and the pieces will fall beautifully into place to move, amuse, and enchant you.

I hope to see you there!
