«Lincoln au Bardo» is the historical and fantastical novel by George Saunders, published by Fayard in paperback (400 pages, in French).
Washington, 1862. After the death of his son Willie, Abraham Lincoln secretly visits his grave in Oak Hill Cemetery. There, in the bardo of Tibetan tradition, souls trapped between two worlds react to the boy's arrival in a conflict that mirrors the Civil War, narrated by a chorus of living and dead voices.
