George Saunders—just heard about Saunders book, Lincoln in the Bardo. When Lincoln’s son died, Lincoln even went into the crypt. For 20 years, Saunders mulled over the idea of writing this book about Lincoln.
George Saunders named as Time Magazine’s 100 💯 Most Important Person in the World.
Saunders read over 200 books for the exact period—1862–but found them completely pleasurable.
Abraham Lincoln still is honored today because of the drama around him; he knew and got the scent of righteousness to get away from racism.
Three narrators told the story in the book. He edited the book over and over. The audiobook has 160 people involved. Saunders hopes that people should leave his book a little spiritual and emotionally moved.
The interview was meh. I had recently read another interview with Nicola Yoon that I enjoyed more. What was most off putting about this interview was the sound. The interviewer (Jill) had her mic turned way up and Mrs. Yoon’s mic was not turned up. It made for me not being able to hear the answers that I wanted to hear and then being assaulted by Jill’s loud voice and laugh.
Absolutely! I would love to be thirteen again. This serves ascan introduction to a new line/type of book of only one hundred fifty pages. Reasons why they are good and the hope that they will get more people reading. Podcast with James Patterson. As an aside, I love the Alex Cross series and his stand - alones.
