Humiliation by Wayne Koestenbaum

3.0

Koestenbaum's personal humiliations are sprinkled throughout the book and then come in a self-deprecating torrent at the end. In the middle is much musing on humiliated people, mostly celebrities, some of whom I have heard of. I read this at an odd moment considering that, unlike Michael Jackson, for example, the humiliated celebrities of the past month don't generally come off as credibly ashamed. Could be a whole new essay from Koestenbaum about that, which I would be eager to read.
