This week, we wrestle with the overbearing maximalist style of Roth's narration in The Human Stain. Does the style augment the themes of the novel or does it detract from the work? We also discuss Roth's claim that people will no longer read novels.
This is the last book of our series on Campus Novels where we also reviewed and discussed The Secret History and Stoner. Look for our previous episodes to hear our discussion about these books. Next week we will wrap up our series on Campus novels.
