HUMILIATING? HOPEFULLY. . .

Earlier this summer, my friend Larry Doyle published his first novel, called I Love You, Beth Cooper. It’s about a geeky high school student who uses the forum of the valedictory address during graduation to announce his love for the most beautiful, popular girl in the school. Hilarity, of course, ensues.

Larry has had the bright idea to go on from this to become the Rupert Murdoch of high school embarrassments, and is attempting to corner the market on all tales of youthful humiliation. He asked a number of his pals to contribute their tales of high school embarrassment, and surprisingly, a number contributed. Including me.

You can read my tale, and those of the other writers, at iloveyoubethcooper.com. The writer who is deemed to have charted best on a scale of Abject Humiliation and Literary Merit is going to win an iPod.
