Publisher Vintage - The Human Stain - Philip Roth
Description:
"The American psyche is masterfully captured in the gripping tale of one man’s downfall." In The Human Stain, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Philip Roth delivers a powerful narrative set in 1998, a year when America is engulfed by scandal during a president’s impeachment. In a small New England town, esteemed professor Coleman Silk is forced to resign after being falsely accused of racism by his colleagues. While the allegations are baseless, the real secret Silk has been hiding for fifty years would shock even his fiercest critics. This novel marks the conclusion of Roth’s brilliant post-war American trilogy—a profound exploration of identity, societal change, and the search for personal renewal. "An extraordinary book—bursting with rage, humming with ideas, full of dazzling sleights of hand" (Sunday Telegraph).
