The dead are out of the way, merely characters from stories about the past, never again unreadable, no misunderstandings possible, the pain coming from them stable and manageable. nor do you have to explain yourself to them, to justify the fact of your life. β¨ Aleksandar Hemon (2009). The Lazarus Project, p.107, Pan Macmillan
