This satirical novel from the Booker Prize-winning author of "Lincoln in the Bardo" introduces us to Jill "Doll" Blaine, a spirit guide charged with ushering an oil tycoon into the afterlife. In K.J. Boone's final evening of life on Earth, he is visited by people alive and dead who demand a reckoning for his actions, but Boone is unrepentant. Through this lens, the book explores corporate greed, capitalism, climate change, and good and evil.
