'Lincoln in the Bardo' (2017) George Saunders. A bit late to this title but got restarted with Saunders after finding 'A Swim in a Pond in the Rain'. Now I have to read/re-read all the Russian short stories but before that, I found a signed, hard-cover, first edition of 'Lincoln in the Bardo' at my local used bookstore! It's a trip but I'm along for the ride.
I didn't expect to see "A Swim in a Pond in the Rain" here. I'm currently reading it and I'm really enjoy all those Russian short stories, but also the commentary on those stories is also pretty great. As someone who doesn't have a literary background it's nice to see how it's done.
