A Humilhação by Philip Roth
An aging, once-celebrated stage actor confronts the sudden loss of his talent and the emptiness of retirement, sinking into depression and suicidal thoughts. He becomes involved with a much younger woman, and that relationship, alongside encounters with other quirky and sometimes predatory figures, forces him to grapple with shame, desire, and mortality. The novel blends bleak humor and pathos to explore how creative identity erodes with age and how humiliation can redefine a life.
