Description: Boston. 1962. Atlantic/Little Brown. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 497 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Rob Howard. keywords: Literature America Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Ship of Fools is a 1962 novel by Katherine Anne Porter, telling the tale of a group of disparate characters sailing from Mexico to Europe aboard a German passenger ship. The large cast of characters includes Germans, Mexicans, Americans, Spaniards, a group of Cuban medical students, a Swiss family, and a Swede. In steerage is a large group of Spanish workers being returned to Spain from Cuba. It is an allegory tracing the rise of Nazism and looks metaphorically at the progress of the world on its voyage to eternity. Porter had been widely praised for her short stories, mostly written between 1922 and 1940. She began work on the novel in 1940, intending it initially to be a novella (or short novel, as Porter would put it, as she famously wrote about how she detested the word novella). The story was based on a journal she kept in 1931 during a sea voyage from Veracruz, Mexico, on her way to study in Bremerhaven, Germany, on a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the characters in the novel were based on real people she met during the trip. The title was taken from Das Narrenschiff (The Fool-Ship), a 15th-century German poem by Sebastian Brant. inventory #3431 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket

Description: First Edition. VG+ (spine weakening) in a VG+ unclipped dustjacket with some light chipping to head of spine. First novel by the oft-divorced Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, made into a successful film three years later that marked the final screen appearance of Vivien Leigh. Alexander Laings copy, with his ownership SIGNATURE on half-title page"Veronica & Alexander Laing 4 April 1962." Laing is probably best known for his science fiction and horror writing and editing in the 1930s, including The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck (1934), Dr. Scarlett (1936), The Methods of Dr. Scarlett (1937), and The Haunted Omnibus (1937). The year before Porters Ship of Fools, Laing, who sailed around the world in 1934-1935, published American Sail: A Pictorial History. The University of Maryland, which houses Porters papers, lists Laings work among her documents from 1943, thus showing that Porter was aware of Laings early writing on the sea, most likely his novel of the golden age of shipping, The Sea Witch (1933).
