Research for a nearly completed novel
Date: Friday, Oct/5/2001
I have nerly completed a novel about New Orleans, which contains a few paragraphs on the cicadas (or “locusts” as they are mistakenly called here). Some time ago I saw a film in which the main character quoted a poem about the locut’s song, but can’t remember which film it was. It might have been independent. Anyway, if anyone knows, could you please inform me? I would like to include it in that particular segment. Thank you! — Elizabeth, New Orleans, LA
