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.

Strong, intelligent man from a colored family, does not want to life as a black in the US of the 50-ies. looking nearly like a white he decides to deny his past and become a white professor at a white university. but it seems, that he cannot run away from his past. He looses job, white wife and children. and his life, beeing in love with a much younger Woman. The book has very strong parts, and some weak. but in all worthy to be read, cause part of US history. segregation and Vietam war. ( )

très beau roman avec une sorte de suspens qui dure jusqu’à la fin. Un sujet fort sur le racisme aux USA par un écrivain américain qui donne envie d’en découvrir d’autres. Livre conseillé par mon copain Barack O… (le film est moins bon). ( )

Pas le meilleur Roth...mais intéressant comme toujours... ( )

J'ai eu beaucoup de mal avec Philip Roth. Je n'ai jamais réussi à finir un livre de sa série des "Portnoy". Celui-ci,enfin, m'a permis de saisir pourquoi on le disait si grand. Comme le titre l'indique, il s'agit d'une tache. Pensez Monica Levintsky.

It was in the summer of 1998 that my neighbor Coleman Silk - who, before retiring two years earlier, had been a classics professor at nearby Athena College for some twenty-odd years as well as serving for sixteen more as the dean of faculty - confided in me that, at the age of seventy-one, he was having an affair with a thirty-four-year-old cleaning woman who worked down at the college.

Prima «spettri», adesso «bianco»: chi sa quale stortura ripugnante sarà svelata dalla prossima locuzione un po' antiquata, dalla prossima frase idiomatica deliziosamente datata che gli esce volando dalla bocca? Come si viene smascherati o distrutti dalla parola ideale. Cosa svela il travestimento, la copertura e la dissimulazione? Questo, la parola giusta pronunciata spontaneamente, senza doverci nemmeno pensare.
