In 1998, the impeachment of a president sends America into a lustful frenzy. In a little New England town, an elderly professor of Classics named Coleman Silk is forced to resign because his colleagues declare him to be a racist. The accusation is untrue, yet even Silk's most vociferous critic would be shocked by the true story.
For half a century, Coleman Silk has concealed a secret from his spouse, four kids, coworkers, and friends, including author Nathan Zuckerman. Zuckerman is the one who discovers Silk's secret and embarks on a mission to piece together the little-known history of this distinguished, moral guy who was regarded as a teacher for almost his whole life and to comprehend how this cleverly fabricated existence came to an end. Furthermore, to comprehend how Silk's incredible personal background is, as stated by the Wall Street Journal, "magnificently" entwined with "the larger public history of modern America."
