Great recount of US political history from the Reagan to Trump.
Thoroughly depressing how very little is new in 2025.
In summary, a pox on all their houses (conservative and progressive).
A pleasant surprise.
A bit of horror. A bit of social commentary. A bit of sci fi.

At over 570 pages it is long. Thank goodness for the short chapters. It made the reading that much easier. Having said all of that…it was entirely worth it. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Loved the writing. At times rather funny. Loved the characters. And like all good crime mysteries…plenty of twists and turns.
It's me and I obviously missed something.
Not a good sign when, 20 pages into the novel, I had to google, “How does one read Lincoln in the Bardo?” and I came across a video by the author instructing me on how to. Once I got that understanding…off I went and started to read. Still a little uncertain that I wasn’t entirely getting it…I also downloaded a cheat sheet to make sure that I wasn’t missing anything. And I did miss a few things. Not an ideal way of reading a novel.
Two parts of the novel that I had issues with. 1. The structure. Is that what one calls it? Once I got it in my head that I am to read the “ghosts” part of the novel as I'm reading an experimental theatre show script and the quotes from historical books to provide context like I was reading …

Once I got it in my head that I am to read the “ghosts” part of the novel as I'm reading an experimental theatre show script and the quotes from historical books to provide context like I was reading a Ken Burns documentary….I was on a roll. 2. I really enjoyed the parts of the novel that were focused on Willie and Abraham Lincoln. I could have done without the rest.
My final thoughts…and I blame this on me being an engineer, I’m not particularly sophisticated when it comes to literature or art, in general. And it reminded me of the time I stood in front of a Jackson Pollock painting. I didn’t get it. I didn’t like it. But the arts community…..LOVED IT. With “Lincoln in the Bardo”, the literary community loved it. But I didn’t get it and I didn’t like it.
