The Human Stain (Mandarin Edition)

《人性的污秽》

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 even his most virulent accuser.

“美国三部曲”的登峰之作，与前两部相比，小说中各元素之间更加制衡，更具整体性，对人性的探讨更加彻底。小说重磅炸弹似的主题，注定其成为各方评论的主题。
