Lincoln in the Bardo: A Novel

"And if you’re open to supernatural elements, you should also read Lincoln in the Bardo , a wild ride of a novel set in the cemetery where Abraham Lincoln’s young son has been recently buried. It features rude ghosts, spectral humour and a polyphonic chorus of voices. Lincoln in the Bardo , which won in 2017, is both hilarious and heartbreaking, but you need to be ready for the text to take excitingly experimental form. It’s one of my favourite books of all time. I laugh just thinking of it."
