This book recommendation is on THE HUMAN STAIN by Philip Roth. From the cover: “It is 1998, the year American is plunged into a frenzy prurience by the impeachment of a president. In small New England town a distinguished professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues allege that he is a racist…This is the conclusion to Roth’s brilliant trilogy of post-war America - a story of seismic shifts in US history and a personal search for renewal and regeneration.”
