This week, we reviewed The Human Stain by Philip Roth, an idiosyncratic American stylist.  Though a best-seller and winner of the PEN/Faulkner when it was published, we were not as impressed.  Why not?  Listen and find out!

This is the last novel in our Campus Novels series. We previously covered Stoner and The Secret History which you can find in our archives.
