August, 1931 - The port town of Veracruz is a purgatory between land and sea for the traveler, but the people who live there are very fond of themselves and the town they have helped to make.
"Katherine Anne Porter was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist, essayist, short story writer, novelist, and political activist. Her 1962 novel Ship of Fools was the best-selling novel in America that year, but her short stories received much more critical acclaim. She is known for her penetrating insight; her work deals with dark themes such as betrayal, death and the origin of human evil." - Wikipedia
