George Saunders Explains How To Read Lincoln In The Bardo

Are you intimidated to start reading Dua’s Monthly Read for October, Lincoln In The Bardo? If so, you’re not alone. It’s recognised as an experimental book that can present some challenges – namely the vast number of voices featured: a cacophony of characters both ‘real’ and fictional, living and dead. However, rich literary reward is the pay-off for sticking with the text.

In this exclusive video for Service95, George Saunders – the author of Lincoln In The Bardo – talks us through the first 30 pages of the book, offering clues on how to read it so you can immerse yourself in all the book has to offer. Thank you, George.
