El sue�o americano se tambalea peligrosamente. Una novela que nos lleva a las profundidades de la pirotecnia social norteamericana a trav�s de la escritura veloz y magistral de Philip Roth. En el verano de 1998, el doble azote del puritanismo y la correcci�n pol�tica recorre Estados Unidos a causa del esc�ndalo Lewinski. Coleman Silk, un viejo catedr�tico de una peque�a universidad de Nueva Inglaterra, se ve obligado a jubilarse cuando sus colegas lo acusan de racista. Lo asombroso del dictamen es que la verdad sobre Silk podr�a acallar hasta al m�s virulento de sus detractores. Su secreto, escondido durante cincuenta a�os a esposa, familiares y amigos, servir� al escritor Nathan Zuckerman para reconstruir la biograf�a desconocida de Silk y entender c�mo puede llegar a desenmara�arse una ficci�n de vida tan ingeniosamente armada. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It is 1998, the year in which America is whipped into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president, and in a small New England town, an aging classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues decree that he is a racist. The charge is a lie, but the real truth about Silk would have astonished even his most virulent accuser. Coleman Silk has a secret, one which has been kept for fifty years from his wife, his four children, his colleagues, and his friends, including the writer Nathan Zuckerman. It is Zuckerman who stumbles upon Silk's secret and sets out to reconstruct the unknown biography of this eminent, upright man, esteemed as an educator for nearly all his life, and to understand how this ingeniously contrived life came unraveled. And to understand also how Silk's astonishing private history is, in the words of The Wall Street Journal, magnificently interwoven with the larger public history of modern America.
