Highly creative and entertaining. Unique. President Lincoln's beloved young son, Willie, dies and is buried in Georgetown cemetery. He is met there by a number of interesting characters, all of them existing in the "bardo", a state of incomplete transition. The ghosts quarrel, compete, express themselves, provide us with humorous moments and insights into their lives "before". The final section of the novel is particularly moving and deeply human.
