Description
The Human Stain by Philip Roth In 1998, America was gripped by controversy as the impeachment of a president sent shockwaves through the nation. In a small New England town, a distinguished professor's career is brought to an abrupt end when his colleagues accuse him of racism. The truth about Coleman Silk's past would be both astonishing and devastating. Fifty years of secrets are finally revealed in this gripping conclusion to Philip Roth's trilogy of post-war America. A story of seismic shifts in American history and a personal search for renewal, The Human Stain is a masterful exploration of the human condition. A book that "bursting with rage, humming with ideas, full of dazzling sleights of hand" (Sunday Telegraph), this novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of the American psyche.
