A review by grandma_debby
Ship of Fools by Katherine Anne Porter

3.0

I like Ship of Fools for in interplay of characters and insight into their behavior. As a microcosm of social condition and human behavior, it's depressing. I understand the theme of social degradation into Nazi Germany, and I can relate these rather unlovable persons to a certain dysfunctional family in our neighborhood, people being trapped into situations from which they find no means of extricating themselves, but I want to shout to both our neighbors and Porter's ship passengers, "Isn't there anyone who can actually learn to care about someone else?"
