Human Stain

The book starts of by introducing the affair between Coleman Silk, a seventy-one year old college dean professor, and a thirty-four year-old cleaning lady. Then it mentions Clinton's affair. It seems like the narrator is drawing parallel between Coleman Silk's affair and Clinton's affair. Silk and Clinton both are so much older and have higher social status than the cleaning lady and Lewinsky. Clinton was impeached by Congress but did not lose his job while Coleman lost his job because of his so-called "racist behavior". The similarities between Clinton and Coleman drew my attention. Coleman seems pretty mysterious and has a lot of secrets to be discovered.
