I loved Lincoln in the Bardo but was so confused in the beginning that I had to start the audiobook over when I was half way thru! I have read a lot of Saunders & love how he surprises & challenges me. The same with Virgil, I had to restart after an hour or 2 because I did Not know WHAT was going on. The screaming Frenchman unsettled & confused me utterly but of course that’s part of the humor of Saunders and the unsettling of us is nothing new. I caught on more quickly with Virgil and might reread it again soon because like LITB, I know I am missing some bits.
