The Clinton scandal is at its height. Prurience and political correctness abound in equal measure. Coleman Silk, once revered classics professor, has resigned in disgrace in the face of false allegations of racism. As his world crumbles, Coleman holds fast to an astonishing secret he has kept for fifty years. Despite the odd unconvincing plot device, there is unparalleled linguistic dexterity and a gripping foray into the nuances of truth. Worth reading again.
