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.

Profile Image for Joan Heaton

Intensity of examination of the motives of the personas for keeping their identities.

The rather breathless pacing of the reader enhanced the experience of listening to this novel. The complicated message of a person’s commitment to individualism is described in such intensity that it resonates on every page, or rather with each episode of the narrative.
It is layered, relevant and powerful.
