Join the WilmU Book Club for an online discussion of "Lincoln in the Bardo", by George Saunders. Set during the Civil War, this inventive and poetic novel imagines President Abraham Lincoln visiting the grave of his young son. Told through a chorus of voices, the story blends history and fiction in a meditation on grief, love, and loss. Join us for a unique literary discussion about memory, mourning, and the emotional weight of leadership.
