Title: Read This Book
Review: Written in the year 2000, this is a book about people at the latest turn of the century examined in the context of the political situation in America during their lifetimes. Focusing on character detail and development, Roth successfully paints portraits of complex beings, seemingly related to one another by the one trait that they cannot escape: they are all human.The examination of Coleman Silk's life: his beginnings and end, his triumph, his tragedy, his relationships, and most importantly, his secret enables the reader to relate to the protagonist. Silk's humanity (his faults, tendencies, patterns of behavior, etc.) contains the indelible aspects of what many will recognize to be similar to those within ourselves and the people around us. This book will draw you into its plot and individual character examinations and will leave you with a more complete and accurate understanding of the "core" that is present within many human beings.
