The Human Stain
The American psyche is channelled into the gripping story of one man. In a small New England town a distinguished professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues allege that he is a racist. This is the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Philip Roth at his very best.It is 1998, the year America is plunged into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president.
Coleman Silk has a secret that he has kept for fifty years. The charge is unfounded, the persecution needless, but the truth about Silk would astonish even his most virulent accuser. This is the conclusion to Roth's brilliant trilogy of post-war America - a story of seismic shifts in American history and a personal search for renewal and regeneration.
