hagbard_celine 's review for:

The Human Stain by Philip Roth
3.0

Me, reading this book: "Hmm, this is pretty compelling. Roth has a gift for evoking place and time. I think—"

"...the gift of molestation..."

Me again: "Whoa. Um. Are we just gonna go past this?"

--

The book has me wrapped up in its questions and feelings, but this is in spite of Roth's commitment to being a "man's writer" or whatever.
