Synopsis
Ship of Fools was published in 1962, but takes place in the summer of 1931, on a cruise ship bound for Germany. It's diverse passengers include a noble Spanish woman, a drunken German lawyer, an American divorcee, and a pair of Catholic priests from Mexico, not to mention the disposable masses who are riding in the steerage. The story is all about the characters, these real, dishonest, selfish people that we all know, and their interactions on this voyage.
