Humiliation is not, of course, unique to writers. However, the
world of letters does seem to offer a near-perfect micro-climate
for embarrassment and shame. There is something about the
conjunction of high-mindedness and low income that is inherently
comic; something about the very idea of deeply private thoughts --
carefully worked and honed into art over the years -- being
presented to a public audience of dubious strangers, that strays
perilously close to tragedy. These seventy contributions prove it
is possible to reverse Auden's dictum: that art is born out of
humiliation.
