10 am A Miniature World of Binnie Klein:
Poet and critic Wayne Koestenbaum takes a lively and highly original look at a painfully universal human emotion, in his new book “Humiliation” (Picador). “There’s ample material here to engage aficionados of pop culture, from a discussion of Alec Baldwin’s ranting voice mail message to his adolescent daughter to television shows like The Swan, a Fox reality program featuring “disturbed women [who] ask to be humiliated on television so that they might end up beautiful.” Through these and myriad other examples, Koestenbaum makes a persuasive case that television is little more than “a manure pond of humiliation, contaminating the viewer,” and raises the legitimate question whether our eagerness to exult in the humiliation of others defines contemporary American culture.” (Shelf Awareness). Wayne visits Binnie Klein to discuss. Check out a teaser video on YouTube.
