Text

Americans have never been squeamish about death. We’ve buried soldiers on battlefields over the centuries; weathered floods and storms and earthquakes; fought cancer and polio and tuberculosis.
[... …]
But only their names. Never their faces. Those faces have stayed with me all these years, like ghosts. Michael’s and so many others. A haunting, if you will. A necessary haunting.

Matthew Lopez, The Inheritance. Faber Drama, 2018. pp.277-281
