IN-PROGRESS FOR DECADES
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Katherine Anne Porter's Ship of Fools went unfinished for twenty-two years. Porter primarily wrote short stories and wrestled with the novel for decades as she worked to transform her personal experience sailing from Mexico to Germany for a study-abroad program into this prose, which grapples with the rise of Nazism and issues of progress.
