Sunday, February 12, 2017The prolific Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer believes that the President did visit the Oak Hill mausoleum but did not handle Willie’s body, whereas, he points out, the Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, had once exhumed the coffin containing his infant daughter so that her corpse could stay for two years inside his house. Whatever the exact case, Abraham Lincoln’s active engagement with Willie’s post-mortem existence is a multi-sourceable matter of record. Bishop Matthew Simpson, in his funeral sermon for the President, cited Lincoln’s remark, “Since Willie’s death I catch myself every day involuntarily talking with him, as if he were with me,” and David Herbert Donald, in his biography of Lincoln, offers evidence that in the period after Willie’s death “he increasingly turned to religion for solace.”Ever since the President’s assassination, on Good Friday, there has been an emotional and literary yearning to see him in terms of resurrection, to have him consort with the living and the dead and even the undead. (Several years ago, Seth Grahame-Smith’s genre novel, “Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter,” which also mentions Lincoln’s reopening of Willie’s casket, achieved a wide, weird popularity.) Saunders cites the influence of “Our Town” on his cemetery imaginings, but they are also surely underpinned by Edgar Lee Masters’s “Spoon River Anthology” (1915), in which the spirit of Ann Rutledge, Lincoln’s legendary first love, insists from her Illinois burial plot on historical credit: “Bloom forever, O Republic, / From the dust of my bosom!”Saunders’s witty and garrulous graveyard is filled with semi-spirits in a state of denial. They believe that their dead bodies are merely a “sick-form,” and that the coffins and crypts containing them are “sick-boxes,” as if Oak Hill were a hospital instead of a cemetery. They have chosen to resist passage to a genuine afterlife, and with their defiance has come boredom: “Each night passed with a devastating sameness,” Hans Vollman, one of those who have adamantly “soldiered on,” says. A printer with an enormous penis, he was, back in the eighteen-forties, just beginning to experience the joy of bedding his much younger wife when a ceiling beam fell and killed him. Vollman’s best posthumous pal is the campy, once closeted Roger Bevins III, now sporting multiple limbs like a Hindu god. The two are frequently in the company of a straitlaced “old bore,” the Reverend Everly Thomas, the closest thing to a Stage Manager in Saunders’s netherworld. Unlike Vollman and Bevins,...
