stin101 's review for:
The Human Stain
by Philip Roth
Really not sure about this one. In the other Nathan Zuckerman books I've read, the Zuck normally has some acquaintance with the protagonist at a young age. His admiration for these seemingly infallible people at an impressionable age was something I thought Roth was brilliant at portraying.
We don't get that here but Coleman Silk is still an interesting enough character and so is Faunia. I can't say much for Les or Delphine. They felt a bit like caricatures; Les especially.
My biggest problem was the plot. The amount of reveals and petty drama was just too much for me. It felt like an episode of All My Circuits.
It's still got the Roth sheen and I enjoyed reading about Silk's family history but it's certainly the weakest in this loose trilogy for me.
