Description
A powerful and poignant novel about the failure of the American dream, The Human Stain is a masterpiece of contemporary literature. In 1998, Coleman Silk, a distinguished classics professor, is forced to retire after a colleague accuses him of being a racist. As Silk's former friend and biographer Nathan Zuckerman sets out to uncover the truth about his past, the novel takes on real, human urgency, refracting the seismic shifts in American history through the prism of race. Through Zuckerman's discovery of Silk's secret, the novel reveals a complex and deeply human story of persecution, renewal, and regeneration. With its tender, shocking, and incendiary portrayal of the American experience, The Human Stain is a book that will stay with readers long after they finish reading. A beautifully written and deeply moving novel, The Human Stain is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in contemporary American literature.
