No One in New Orleans Will Die is a postmodern take regarding random conspiracytheories, and interpersonal and cultural relationships between citizens and New Orleansin the years following Katrina. As seen through the characters’ dialogue, living amongstdevastation and slow progress produces an environment conducive to ’living in limbo’ forthe citizens of New Orleans. It gives a haunting, romantic, intimate look into the differentpopulation sample of current New Orleanians. A remarried, widowed ex-advertisementexecutive turned construction worker who is haunted by his wife’s death, a mediocrejazz singer and musician, a disillusioned ex-banker turned grief counselor are the maincharacters in the story. Social analysis of New Orleans and the current trends and problemsare resonated in the book through the characters and their relationships.Discussions and observations of locals,land marks, visits to the destroyed andreconstructed neighborhoods have andstill are being conducted by the author,J.S. Greene. The goal is to recreate theculture and promise of New Orleans whilekeeping abreast of the reconstructingprocess with the utmost integrity. Theintended audience is the collegiatecrowd and older, as well as people with aconscious of New Orleans’s past, present,and future and its romantic quality.
