Our next book is The Human Stain by Philip Roth

Philip Roth's The Human Stain earned the acclaimed novelist the PEN/Faulkner Award upon its original publication. What on the surface appears to be an indictment of political correctness and public flares of moral outrage, slowly reveals itself to be far more profound as Roth's alter ego Nathan Zuckerman discovers secrets embedded in the past of dethroned professor Coleman Silk.

We'll be meeting to discuss this book August 13th, at the Main Library in Conference Room 3 at noon.
