When Katherine Anne Porter left her home state of Texas for New York, she brought with her the hard edge of a Western pioneer. Passionate and intelligent, it was this edge more than anything that made her name as a writer. Despite her self-imposed exile from her home and Southern background, Porter used this distance as a means of coming to terms with the memories she sought to escape.

American essayist, short story writer, and journalist, whose only novel was THE SHIP OF FOOLS (1962), a disillusioned story set in a little purgatory on the sea. Porter spent twenty years with the book before it was finished. It made her rich and famous. The name of the title came from an old German satire Das Narrenschiff (1494), by Sebastian Brant. However, Porter is also remembered as one of America's best short-story writers.
