The Loss of NOLA through the eyes of Anne Rice.

[Not Afraid]

Anne Rice was in the midst of the distruction, shortly after Katrina hit, when she wrote this. I'm sure her feeling and perceptions were valid then. I know she is not the only one who felt that the collective "we" had failed her fair city. This is a strongly emotional piece written from a position and anger and frustration. Take it for what it is at the time and place it was written. We have hindsight, she had nothing.
