The American soul is captured in the gripping story of a man. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author Philip Roth at his best. It is 1998, the year America is plunged into a wealth frenzy following the impeachment of a presidential official. In a small New England town, a distinguished professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues accuse him of being racist. The accusation is unfounded, the prosecution unnecessary, but the truth about Silk would surprise even his fiercest critic. Coleman Silk has kept a secret for fifty years. This is the conclusion to Roth's brilliant trilogy about post-war America – a story of seismic changes in American history and a personal quest for renewal and rebirth.
