The charge is unfounded, the persecution needless, but the truth about Silk would astonish even his most virulent accuser. Coleman Silk has a secret, one which has been kept for fifty years from his wife, his four children, his colleagues, and his friends, including the writer Nathan Zuckerman. It is Zuckerman who comes upon Silk's secret, and sets out to unearth his former buried life, piecing the biographical fragments back together. This is against backdrop of seismic shifts in American history, which take on real, human urgency as Zuckerman discovers more and more about Silk's past and his futile search for renewal and regeneration.________________PRAISE FOR THE HUMAN STAIN:'One of the most beautiful books I've ever read' Red'[A] tender, shocking and incendiary story on the failure of the American dream refracted through the prism of race' Guardian'A masterpiece' Mail on SundayCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
