Local author (and alum Paly '58 and Menlo College '59), and freelance writer Donald McPhail discusses his compelling debut novel, The Millionaires Cruise: Sailing Toward Black Tuesday. Set in 1929 San Francisco, The Millionaires Cruise vividly tells the story of 300+ millionaires who set sail on a luxurious two-month cruise—completely unaware that everything in their comfortable lives is about to change. Pitting the materialistic forces of capitalism against democracy and idealism, McPhail has crafted a reflective novel with eerie parallels to contemporary America.
