October Book Club: Vigil by George Saunders

George Saunders’ Vigil promises a wildly imaginative ride through one unforgettable night between life and death. When Jill “Doll” Blaine—a soul guide with 343 afterlife escorts under her belt—meets the unapologetic and larger-than-life K. J. Boone, she quickly realizes this final reckoning will be anything but ordinary. As strange visitors descend on Boone’s mansion and reality begins to blur, the novel spirals into a haunting, darkly funny exploration of power, greed, redemption, and what we leave behind. If you love thought-provoking fiction with surreal twists and big philosophical questions, this one sounds impossible to put down.
