Order the latest book from the Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo - a playful, wise, electric novel taking place at the bedside of an oil company CEO, in the twilight hours of his life, as he is ferried from this world into the next
What a lovely home I found myself plummeting toward. . .
Not for the first time - in fact, for the 343rd time - Jill 'Doll' Blaine plummets to earth, head-first, rear-up, to escort another soul into the afterlife. But her newest charge, powerful oil tycoon K.J. Boone, is unlike anyone she has encountered before.
He refuses to be consoled, for he has nothing to regret. He lived a big, bold life, and the world is better for it. isn't it? As death approaches, crowds of people and animals - worldly and otherworldly - begin to emerge, all demanding a reckoning.
Brimming with explosive imagination, George Saunders confronts the biggest issues of our time with his trademark warmth and wit, asking the essential question: who else could we be but exactly who we are?
Vigil was no. 10 in the Sunday Times Hardback Fiction chart and no. 1 in the New York Times Hardcover Fiction chart, w/e 1 February

I don't know
I don’t know what to think. But that’s good? I guess? I recommend listening to the audiobook while reading, as it can be confusing due to the many different characters and dialogues without quotation marks and the sophisticated, and sometimes difficult language. In general, this is a book where you have to trust the process. But it’s good (I think), at least it stays in mind for a while. And I think that’s the purpose of this book: to raise questions rather than answer them. Who are we, in the end? Is there really such a thing as good and evil? Or are we simply the way we are? Should we judge? Who should judge whom, and by what standards? What happens after death? Is there something after death? Who decides what that looks like? God? Or each person for themselves? When does it end?
