Secker & Warburg, 1982 , Vintage Hardback with removable protective plastic wrap - Modern Classics - 512pp.
Katherine Anne Porters first and only novel is a masterful allegory of the passions and prejudices that sparked World War II.
Written over a span of twenty years and based on the diary Katherine Anne Porter kept during a similar ocean voyage, Ship of Fools was the bestselling novel of 1962. It is a masterpiece of American literature as captivating today as when it was first published more than a half century ago.
August 1931. An ocean liner bound for Germany sets out from the Mexican port city of Veracruz. The ships first-class passengers include an idealistic young American painter and her lover; a Spanish dance troupe with a sideline in larceny; an elderly German couple and their fat, seasick bulldog; and a boisterous band of Cuban medical students.
As the Vera journeys across the Atlantic, the incidents and intrigues of several dozen passengers and crew members come into razor-sharp focus. The result is a richly drawn portrait of the human condition in all its complexity and a mesmerising snapshot of a world drifting toward disaster.
