#78 LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT Eugene O'Neill

 LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT

Eugene O'Neill

Grim trajectory of an Irish-American family of failed actors (father and son) , addiction (mother), consumption (the other son, and not the retail kind). The antithesis of the American dream.


Substitute oxycontin for morphine, Aids/COVID for TB, and some other addiction for Irish whiskey, and you see things haven't changed much since the 1920s.
