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 a secret. But it's not the secret of his affair, at seventy-one, with Faunia Farley, a woman half his age with a savagely wrecked past - a part-time farmhand and a janitor at the college where, until recently, he was the powerful dean of faculty. And it's not the secret of Coleman's alleged racism, which provoked the college witch-hunt that cost him his job and, to his mind, killed his wife. Nor is it the secret of misogyny, despite the best efforts of his ambitious young colleague, Professor Delphine Roux, to expose him as a fiend. Coleman's secret has been kept for fifty years: from his wife, his four children, his colleagues, and his friends, including the writer Nathan Zuckerman, who sets out to understand how this eminent, upright man, esteemed as an educator for nearly all his life, had fabricated his identity and how that cannily controlled life came unraveled. Set in 1990s America, where conflicting moralities and ideological divisions are made manifest through public denunciation and rituals of purification, The Human Stain concludes Philip Roth's eloquent trilogy of postwar American lives that are as tragically determined by the nation's fate as by the "human stain" that so ineradicably marks human nature. This harrowing, deeply compassionate, and completely absorbing novel is a magnificent successor to his Vietnam-era novel, American Pastoral, and his McCarthy-era novel, I MARRIED A COMMUNIST.

读得第一本罗斯的书。感觉翻译得不是很好,读起来有些拗口。 1. 每个人都拥有自己的秘密,秘密就是你需要更多的谎言去填补的东西。对于科尔曼来说,他的秘密就是隐藏了自己黑人血统的真相,与家人一刀两断,伪装成一个白人,进入中产阶级知识分子队伍,做了一个体面的大学教授...
評分 評分 評分菲利普罗斯的美国三部曲花了三个星期的时间读完,平均下来也就是一个星期一本的样子。对我而言可以算是一个较快的阅读速度了。三本书的阅读顺序分别是《美国牧歌》、《我嫁给了共产党人》以及《人性的污秽》。 美国小说家似乎都有股乡土情结而且都很有野心都想写...
