Philip Roth

In a small New England town, a distinguished classics professor is forced into retirement amidst accusations of racism, a charge that masks a far more profound and astonishing secret. For fifty years, Coleman Silk has concealed a truth that would shock his family, friends, and colleagues, including the writer Nathan Zuckerman. As Zuckerman endeavors to uncover the hidden biography of this esteemed educator, he grapples with the unraveling of Silk's meticulously constructed life and its intricate connection to the turbulent public history of modern America.
