Lincoln in the Bardo - George Saunders - LRHBC Ep 15

Discussion Notes: Lincoln in the Bardo
Next month’s novel: The Heirs by Susan Rieger
Rated: Explicit

The bookclub read the 2017 Man Booker Prize winner Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders. The hosts are split with Anais vehemently defending a novel she loved that Gerald disliked and Maya found disappointing, even as she saw its merits. While Gerald liked the beginning, it quickly went downhill for him, while Maya felt the experiment didn’t quite pan out. Anais  enjoyed the book so much and found it so funny that she, while reading, yelped with excitement.
And you?
