On February 22, 1862, Abraham Lincoln's youngest son Willie is laid to rest in a marble crypt in a Georgetown cemetery. Late that night, under cover of darkness, Lincoln returns to the cemetery shattered by grief and visits the crypt to spend time with his son's body. Set over the course of that one night and narrated by a chorus of ghosts of the recently-passed and the long-dead, "Lincoln in the Bardo" is a thrilling exploration of death, grief, and the powers of good and evil. Based on the novel by Macarthur Genius Grant-winning writer George Saunders.
