«Lincoln in the Bardo» is the historical and fantastical novel by George Saunders, published by Bloomsbury in hardcover (368 pages, in English).
In February 1862, in the midst of the civil war, Willie Lincoln, the president's son, dies and is buried in Georgetown. His father visits the crypt several times to hold his body. From that historical event, the novel enters the bardo, an intermediate state according to Tibetan tradition where ghosts dispute the boy's soul over a single night.
