The charge is a lie, but the real truth about Silk would have astonished even his most virulent accuser.\n\nColeman 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.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375726349\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0375726349.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Roth, Philip\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
