Book Description:
It is 1998, the year in which America is whipped into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president, and in a small New England town, an aging classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues decree that he is a racist. The charge is a lie, but the real truth about Silk would have astonished his most virulent accuser. Coleman Silk has kept a secret for fifty years: from his wife, his four children, his colleagues, and his friends, including the writer Nathan Zuckerman, who sets out to reconstruct the biography of this eminent, upright man, and to understand how his ingeniously contrived life came unraveled. Brilliantly narrated by actors Arliss Howard and Debra Winger, THE HUMAN STAIN concludes Philip Roth's eloquent trilogy of post-war American lives.
