Book Reviews of The Human Stain: A Novel
Book Review: Roth's wrath as well focussed as ever
Summary: 4 Stars
Philip Roth maintains his recent fine form with this tale of fear and loathing in the corridors of academe.His rapier is keen and his aim is true as he attacks a number of targets notably the self righteous hypocrisy of the Starrstruck year of 1998 and the lunatic fringe of political correctness.It contains a searing reprise on the after effects of Vietnam plus a deeply moving contemplation of what it means to be poor and illiterate in the richest country in the world.There are moments of great humour as in when the obviously deranged Delphine attempts to find a soulmate... a splendid and compassionate bookLiterature & Fiction Books
