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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526214451488,"sku":"NEW0060750928","price":14.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61fbNmNRYkL.jpg?v=1777187399","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mortification-writers-stories-of-their-public-shame-0060750928","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
