A lovely confection with likeable characters that will leave you feeling good. Recommended for that space between two books of heavier subjects as a palate cleanser. Definitely worth reading. I look forward to seeing Sally Field as Tova and Lewis Pullman as Cameron.

Lincoln in the Bardo was an interesting exploration of Lincoln’s evolution to an abolitionist during the eatly days of his presidency through his interaction with the residents of the bardo or purgatory or whatever you might want to call it, during one very eventful night for the residents of that portion of the afterlife. The narrative contains mostly short snippets from the three main characters, with some color added in by the other denizens of the afterlife waystation. The tale is a bit scatalogical (in the general sense, not in the excretory sense) and may offend readers with a delicate sensibilty. It was a quick, fun read, very good, but didn’t live up to all the hype for this reader. Still, I am happy that I read it and portions of its theology will remain with me for some time.

A contemplative novel of the futility of living a life waiting for something to happen to you rather than taking agency in your own life and trying to make something happen for yourself. The Italian Waiting for Godot, except you know what Godot is, and "he" appears, but too late for the feckless main character.
