The book is dedicated to shame — a feeling that arises from a person’s awareness of his inferiority, worthlessness, inadequacy, flaw. American psychoanalyst Benjamin Kilborn explores the dynamics of shame using examples from his clinical practice and literary works. He comes to the conclusion that shame about one’s appearance is such a common phenomenon (both in literature and in real life) that it can give rise to a desire to disappear or a fear of disappearance.
