| "Sanders entered Lincolns mind with this book."—— The new Yorker "This book doesnt read like a novel, but more like a tragedy written by Shakespeare in the 21st century."—— Boston Globe George Sanders, American novelist. On September 13, 2017, he was shortlisted for the 2017 British Booker Prize for his novel Lincoln in the underworld. At 8 p.m. London local time on October 17, the 59 year old American writer George Saunders won the 2017 British Booker Prize for Lincoln in the bardo. This is also the second time that American writers have won the Booker Prize since the opening of the Booker Prize rules in 2014. The last time was Paul Beatty who won the prize last year. In 1996, he published his first collection of short stories, civil war land in bad decline. In 2006, he won MacArthur Genius Award and Guggenheim Scholar Award; In 2014, he became the winner of the first Frio literature award with his novel collection December 10. The whole story revolves around Lincoln and his son and is mainly described from the perspective of three souls: one is the young man who cut his wrist and committed suicide after confessing to his Gay lover; One is Hans vollman, a middle-aged printer who holds a beauty but is killed by a falling beam on the day of the round house; There is also an elder Reverend Thomas who cant see his life clearly and cant make a sincere confession. In 1862, the United States was in the depths of civil war. With the increasing number of casualties, Lincoln, as president, faced great pressure and had a hard time. In this case, Lincolns 11 year old son Willie died of typhoid fever. For Lincoln, it was like a leak in the house, but it rained continuously. Although the duel at Donelson fortress ended in the victory of the coalition, it was called "the bloodiest battle" because the death toll was over 1000. Two things that grieved Lincoln were almost front and rear feet. What should he do? Sanders grasped this important moment in Lincolns life and cleverly borrowed the concept of the middle Yin world to create a strange imagination space for deeply depicting his inner world, so that each participant in the story can fully perceive and understand the psychological activities of others. From this, we saw a moving scene in Oak Hill Cemetery where Lincoln confided his heart to his sons body alone
A STORY OF LOVE AFTER DEATH
The extraordinary first novel by the bestselling, Folio Prize-winning, National Book Award-shortlisted George Saunders, about Abraham Lincoln and the death of his eleven year old son, Willie, at the dawn of the Civil War The American Civil War rages while President Lincolns beloved eleven-year-old son lies gravely ill. In a matter of days, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns to the crypt several times alone to hold his boys body. From this seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of realism, entering a thrilling, supernatural domain both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself trapped in a transitional realm - called, in Tibetan tradition, the bardo - and as ghosts mingle, squabble, gripe and commiserate, and stony tendrils creep towards the boy, a monumental struggle erupts over young Willies soul. Unfolding over a single night, Lincoln in the Bardo is written with George Saunders inimitable humour, pathos and grace. Here he invents an exhilarating new form, and is confirmed as one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Deploying a theatrical, kaleidoscopic panoply of voices - living and dead, historical and fictional - Lincoln in the Bardo poses a timeless question: how do we live and love when we know that everything we hold dear must end?
