Lincoln in the Bardo

I kind of hated it. I don't mean to be a pearl clutcher here, but I did feel it was in bad taste to make the suffering and subsequent death of a little boy (albeit a boy looooong dead) into such a weirdly perverse story. It's grotesque to me. I nearly gave up on it at page 30 because I had no clue still what was going on and the narrative style never grew on me. I get that the afflictions of the bardo dwellers are symbolic of the personal limbos they faced, but I still just didn't connect with it.
