Description for Humiliation
Hardcover. BIC Classification: DNF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 163 x 18. Weight in Grams: 254.
The lives of people both famous and obscure are filled with moments when their dirty laundry sees daylight. At such times we witness the reversibility of success, of prominence, but also come to terms viscerally with our own most vulnerable selves. We cannot stop watching the scene of shame, identifying with it, absorbing its nearness, relishing our immunity, even as we acknowledge the universality of the human stain, the uneasy predicament of living in our own bodies -
