THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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. 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?
