A Streetcar Named Desire is the correct name.
A Streetcar Named Desire is the correct name.
137rolandperkins
" 'Streetcar'...'doesn't show up on Touchstones." (135)
@leslie.98's title (136) is correct.
But Touchstones can handle it without the
"Named", i.e. if just "A Streetcar . . . Desire" (no 3rd word) is asked for. I'm no expert on how Search/Touchstones works, but I guess introducing a
wrong word: "Called" (135)
will give a "No Results" message.
