Abstract "This study considers male shame in contemporary writing by men, examining why shame is often considered a female emotion and therefore denied in men. The author's comparative approach to the private experience of shame on novels by Hanif Kureishi, Philip Roth and Hubert Klimko-Dobrzaniecki demonstrates the extent to which shame conditions make behavior, protecting the powerful hierarchies existing between different kinds of masculinities." -- Page 4 of cover.
