The Human Stain by Philip Roth
5.0

Philip Roth’s American Trilogy (American Pastoral, I Married a Communist, The Human Stain) collectively are a masterwork of modern literature. The paint a picture of the last half of the 20th Century in America that delves deeply into the American consciousness. One of the most satisfying collection of reads in a long time. I think I avoided Roth for years because I had picked up in my very limited knowledge of him that he was a flaming asshole. Maybe so but he’s an asshole who can write like few others.
