In 1998, America was gripped by a fervor of scandal as the impeachment of a president unfolded. Amid this tumultuous backdrop, a renowned professor named Coleman Silk found himself forced into retirement, accused of racism by his colleagues. The charge was unfounded, the persecution unjust, yet the truth about Silk would astonish even his most vehement accuser. For fifty years, Coleman Silk harbored a secret. This remarkable novel marks the culmination of Philip Roth's trilogy exploring post-war America, a tale of profound historical transformations and a deeply personal quest for renewal and rebirth.

An extraordinary work, brimming with anger, pulsating with ideas, and adorned with dazzling deceptions, "The Human Stain" has been hailed as a masterpiece by the Sunday Telegraph.
