About this listen

The American psyche is channeled into the gripping story of one man. This is the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Philip Roth at his very best.

It is 1998, the year America is plunged into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president. In a small New England town a distinguished professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues allege that he is a racist. The charge is unfounded, the persecution needless, but the truth about Silk would astonish even his most virulent accuser. Coleman Silk has a secret that he has kept for fifty years. This is the conclusion to Roth’s brilliant trilogy of post-war America—a story of seismic shifts in American history and a personal search for renewal and regeneration.

Beautiful writing, humorous and without fear. Roth improved with age. His descriptions of academics were amusing and painful. The narrator was excellent.

Roth remained strong

At first it just felt like a normal depressing Phillip Roth book, but the secrets and the incredible irony of the whole situation made it feel more like Bonfire of the Vanities. This is my favorite Roth novel.

Brutal Irony
