jason_pym 's review for:
The Human Stain
by Philip Roth
I assume, as this seems to be regarded as a modern classic, that I'm missing something. Anything here about race or sex dosen't fit into my experience of the world; a "black" man who is so pale he can pass for white getting angsty about how to label himself, a university professor in a relationship with an illiterate cleaning woman half his age... I couldn't make sense of the characters, their motivations, or the world they live in. But judging by the fawning reviews that's obviously my problem.
