https://media2.fdncms.com/gambit/ima...6/saunders.jpg George Saunders, whose short stories crystallize his signature blend of the literary, the eerie and the profound, will speak in New Orleans Feb. 20.

The author will discuss his recent novel, Lincoln in the Bardo. The book, a phantasmagoric reimagining of what happened after the death of Abraham Lincoln's young son, is narrated almost entirely by the ghostly inhabitants of a strange purgatory.?
