These are the best kinds of stories: those told against the teller - by some of our finest living writers. Made up of seventy specially commissioned contributions, this is a celebration of defeat and a chance to indulge in that most malicious of pleasures - schadenfreude. "Mortification is a collection of writers tales of ignominy, a grimly compelling anthology of shame. Anyone who has ever fancied an author's life would find this book an eye-opener. All the degradations of the profession are here exposed: the readings unattended, the signing sessions ignored, the doltish queries put by interviewers. It's a fascinating miscellany, a pleasure to dip into, an odd carnival of masochistic revelation... an engaging and constantly enjoyable collection, and anyone interested in writers will find it enlightening. Read it and weep." Joseph O'Connor
