1 Trials and Errors at the Turn of the Millennium : On The Human Stain and J. M. Coetzee's Disgrace Daniel L. Medin , 2005 single work criticism
— Appears in: Philip Roth Studies , Spring vol. 1 no. 1 2005; (p. 82-92)
'The remarkable parallels between J. M. Coetzee's Disgrace (1999) and Philip Roth's The Human Stain (2000) raise numerous considerations. Why does each author launch his novel with a college crucible? How is the sudden transformation of a respected professor representative of Western civilization at the end of the twentieth century? This essay approaches such questions by examining specific instances of their shared resemblance.' (Publication abstract)
