A review by leucocrystal
The Death Ship by B. Traven

4.0

This is a really unique and excellent seafaring novel, and possibly the best satirical, scathing examination of the uselessness and cruelty of bureaucracy I've ever read. Did not go in expecting the latter, but that ended up being one of the most enjoyable things about the read. There are remarkably poignant passages as well, particularly revolving around the comradeship between the two primary sailors, their love for the sea, and the concept of where one without country can find or make a home for himself.
