Even with this granular structure and its comic interludes, the book gathers a satisfying momentum, enough to reveal what Saunders has called, in one of his essays, a novel’s Apparent Narrative Rationale-what the writer and the reader have tacitly agreed the book is ‘about'. Saunders often pays imaginative attention to corporations, bureaucracies, and nomenclature, and he has a predilection for creepy theme parks.In Saunders’s hands, Oak Hill, too, is a kind of theme park, with various rules and precincts and spectacles, as well as opportunities for the author’s parodic gifts. ![]() Although readers may feel that Lincoln in the Bardo has little in common with the author’s dystopian short stories, there’s actually quite a lot of similarity in preoccupation and technique. ![]() ![]() Saunders does a fine job-and has a fine time-quickening his little necropolis to literary life. ![]()

I still play, in fact, although some of my skills are a bit rusty. And then, in second grade, I fell in love with the piano and begged and pleaded for lessons – I'd found my personal passion, and it was one I pursued through college. I devoted my time to climbing trees and playing hide-and-seek and reading and such. And it turns out that I was not a graceful petal, and that ballet wasn't quite my cup of tea, and it wasn't all that long before I wasn't taking ballet classes anymore. Turns out my right hip isn't quite as flexible as it ought to be – it wasn't then, it isn't now, it never has been. I remember trying and trying to stand in first position properly, but my right leg never quite cooperated. I'm not positive whether I had ballet shoes or not. (I'm sure we couldn't have afforded ballet classes otherwise.) It was in the spring when I took a few ballet classes – probably at the YMCA, where my mother worked at the time. I didn't want to be like her, I wanted to be her, and my poor mother had a devil of a time explaining to me that I could only be myself, and that I could learn to skate, but I couldn't actually be Peggy Fleming.
