Lincoln in the Bardo: A Novel, by George Saunders. While spending time in the Tibetan Tergar Monastery in Kathmandu, Barb heard a lot about Buddhist theories of reincarnation and the “bardo,” an intermediate state between death and rebirth that might also be related to Western conceptions of poltergeist activities. So, after reading In the Houses of their Dead, it was a good time to also explore how the ideas related to the bardo can be explored in fiction. This was a spirited effort to explore the afterlife in a way that adds meaning to our current lives. Odd, yet oddly satisfying.
