Suzanne Paola fuses the Tibetan bardo journey with Western epic tradition in ways that are both comic and harrowing. Bardo is the intermediate state after death when the soul wanders through the heavens and the hells while trying to avoid rebirth into samsaraâthe realm of the materialâand to instead reach nirvana. Paola presents a series of this lifeâs bardo experiences: drug use, the refused birth of infertility, the social implications of the female body, even a trip to the fantastic âafterworldâ of pop culture. Bardoâs journey travels to a place where âto be human is to be part god, / part sickness, / always wondering which is which.â
