...Roth's new look meant to impress the Swedish Academy? Who knows, but who could blame him? Roth has already won every major book award, and literary-conspiracy theorists could point out that a wider world view may have helped Saul Bellow win a Nobel Prize in 1976. Like Bellow's Mr. Sammler's Planet and The Dean's December, The Human Stain makes a good case for the decline of humanism, civility and common sense.

Exile leaders like Ramon Saul Sanchez, who once headed a clandestine paramilitary group that trained for a possible invasion of Cuba, say that kind of dialoguista thinking "just props up a dictator." Freyre counters that the demagogic feud with Castro is self-serving, propping up the political and economic clout of the C.A.N.F. in Miami...
