From the Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo comes Vigil, a bold, thought-provoking novel that blends satire, compassion, and imagination into an unforgettable literary experience.

As powerful oil executive K.J. Boone lies on his deathbed, he believes he has lived an extraordinary life with nothing to regret. But as the boundary between life and death begins to dissolve, an extraordinary procession of people, animals, memories, and spirits gathers around him, demanding one final reckoning.

Guiding him through this surreal journey is Jill "Doll" Blaine, an afterlife companion making her 343rd descent to Earth. What begins as another routine passage soon transforms into a profound exploration of morality, legacy, redemption, and what it truly means to have lived well.

With George Saunders' signature wit, emotional depth, and inventive storytelling, Vigil is a remarkable literary novel that examines humanity's greatest questions with humour, warmth, and extraordinary imagination.

Whether you're a longtime George Saunders reader or discovering his work for the first time, Vigil is an essential addition to any modern fiction collection.
