Vigil: From The Booker Prize-winning Author Of 'lincoln In The Bardo'

Vigil: From The Booker Prize-Winning Author Of 'Lincoln In The Bardo' by George Saunders is a bold, darkly funny literary fiction novel that blends the uncanny with the deeply human, set beside the deathbed of an oil company CEO in his final hours. It’s a playful, piercing read for anyone who loves inventive storytelling and big moral questions.

Jill “Doll” Blaine is no stranger to this work—she’s made the trip from sky to earth hundreds of times to escort the dying onward. But K.J. Boone isn’t interested in comfort or confession. Certain he has nothing to answer for, he faces the end with a stubborn certainty that draws in a strange procession of visitors.

As the room fills with the living and the dead, animals and memories, this afterlife tale becomes a sharp reckoning with power, legacy, and what we choose to see about ourselves.

Perfect for fans of George Saunders, surreal fiction, and character-driven novels with humour and bite. Add it to your cart and step into its spell.
