Who is the reader in the black shirt? Im guessing he is playing Lincoln? His reading is amazing! He should be an actor ... kinda reminds me of Gabriel Byrne
Time to retire the La Boda de Eduardo story, George. I've heard it about ten different times. Lincoln in the Bardo is an absolute masterpiece. The form itself is highly noteworthy and innovative. It's so sad, and yet highly comical. The characters are fascinating and hilarious. Even their names are pure art. George is, imo, a bona fide genius, through and through. His work should be taught in high schools. This book will give readers a new outlook on Lincoln, and really highlights what an amazing figure he was. To have to deal with the death of a child during the Civil War, all while being lambasted by his contemporaries. Bardo is like nothing you've ever read.
I couldn't have said it better myself. "Lincoln in the Bardo" is the purest book I've read in almost a year. I spent most of it straining my throat, trying not to cry. I need to work on finishing "Tenth of December" and "The Braindead Megaphone".
George Saunders has a depth of life experiences which he brings to all his writing. An imaginative novel.
He may be a good writer but when he intentionally bringing up President Trump in that way, with hate, that disqualifies him.
amazing book! what an insightful dude! loved hearing about his writing process!

George Saunders = best creative writing school ever
Shame that some of the readers'' microphones either not on or not loud enuff. Also, audience questions hard to decipher.
Enuff?

Yep - contains rips against Trump. Can't anyone have a philosophical conversation on point?
