      By Saunders, George, 1958-
       2017., Adult, Random House Call No: Fic Sau   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln<U+2019>s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. 'My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,' the president says at the time. 'God has called him home.' Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns, alone, to the crypt several times to hold his boy<U+2019>s body. From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself in a strange purgatory where ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre acts of penance. Within this transitional state--called, in the Tibetan tradition, the bardo--a monumental struggle erupts over young Willie<U+2019>s soul. Lincoln in the Bardo is an astonishing feat of imagination and a bold step forward from one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Formally daring, generous in spirit, deeply concerned with matters of the heart, it is a testament to fiction<U+2019>s ability to speak honestly and powerfully to the things that really matter to us. Saunders has invented a thrilling new form that deploys a kaleidoscopic, theatrical panorama of voices to ask a timeless, profound question: How do we live and love when we know that everything we love must end?"--From publisher.

      By Follett, Ken
       2021., Adult, Viking Call No: Fic Fol    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Every catastrophe begins with a little problem that doesn't get fixed." So says Pauline Green, president of the United States, in Ken Follett's nerve-racking drams of international tension. A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert; a stolen US Army drone; an uninhabited Japanese island; and one country's secret stash of deadly chemical poisons: all these play roles in a relentlessly escalating crisis. Struggling to prevent the outbreak of world war are a young woman intelligence officer; a spy working undercover with jihadists; a brilliant Chinese spymaster; and Pauline herself, beleaguered by a populist rival for the next presidential election. "Never" is an extraordinary novel, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, jaded politicians and opportunistic revolutionaries. It brims with cautionary wisdom for our times and delivers a visceral, heart-pounding read that transports readers to the brink of the unimaginable."--Book jacket.

      -- Presidential novel
       c2011., Adult, Simon & Schuster Call No: Fic Ano   Edition: 1st Simon & Schuster hardcover ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "O. The truth only fiction can tell. This is a novel about aspiration and delusion, set during the presidential election of 2012 and written by an anonymous author who has spent years observing politics and the fraught relationship between public image and sefl-regard. The novel includes revealing and insightful portraits of many prominent figures in the political world - some invented and some real. As a work of speculative fiction about ways in which the battle for the presidency will be fought in 2012, the details in O will ultimately be overtaken by events. But no chronicle is more likely to convey the interior lives of the people in the midst of that campaign - the issues they confront, the compromises they will make, the lengths to which they will go for victory. O is a novel for anyone who wants to understand what our leaders are really thinking. It proves in dramatic terms that, sometimes only fiction can reveal the truth."--Inside cover.
