Lincoln in Bardo. Sonders J.

The naval novel in the progressive genre of Transrealism: most of the events occur in a bardo-a borderline place between life and death (in Buddhism). Senders, a brilliant master of short form, wrote a tragic family story with a supernatural atmosphere, overcoming all genre conventions. The heir to Edgar in and German Melville, Senders in Lincoln in Bardo combined poetry and historical realities, taking as a basis a real case with the American president and his little son. This novel will really transfer you for the line of reality.
