janey 's review for:
The Human Stain
by Philip Roth
This book succeeds because Roth is a genius. He never says "This is Coleman's experience." Instead he says, "Given what I've heard, this is how I see Coleman's experience."
Funny, tender, biting, gentle, this book peers into the minds of so many disparate characters and only a genius like Philip Roth could take this cast and make it a cohesive whole that tells each of us a story about ourselves.
Every time I read this, I am again overwhelmed. The audiobook was terrific, even though, as I always do, I found myself repeating phrases aloud from time to time with just slightly different inflection. Still, a terrific reader.
