The Filth of Human Nature

About This Novel

The novel is set in the United States in the 1990s. Because of a specious remark, Coleman, a university professor who is over 70 years old, was accused of being a "racist". After the ensuing forced resignation and the death of his wife, Coleman, who was taking the blame, broke the news of his love affair with the young female cleaner Fonya. All these incidents made Coleman hated by all parties, including Faunia's husband, a disabled Vietnam veteran. Eventually Coleman was cornered by rumors, anonymous letters and stalkers. Race, identity, individual and era, chance and fate, the novel is filled with conflicts and collisions of various elements. In Coleman's continuous "fall", the interspersed fragments intertwined with the main plot reveal that Coleman is not a Jew as he has always claimed, but a light-skinned black man; Faunya is not illiterate... These make the conflicts and collisions in the novel more three-dimensional, and the plot becomes more complicated and confusing.
