Operation Shylock - A Confession (Paperback, New Ed)

Roth follows the story of two men called Philip Roth, one a paranoid author in New York, the other an apparent imposter in Jerusalem. Once again exploring the blurred boundaries of fact, fiction and belief, Roth returns to form as one of the most humorous, manipulative and talented living American writers. (Kirkus UK)

What if a look-alike stranger stole your name, usurped your biography, and went about the world pretending to be you? In his extraordinary new book, his most ingenious and original work since THE COUNTERLIFE, Phillip Roth confronts his double, an imposter whose self-appointed task is to lead the jews OUT of Israel and back to Europe, a moses in reverse and a monstrous nemesis to the 'real' Philip Roth. suspensful, hilarious hugely impassioned, pulsing with intelligence and narrative energy, OPERATON SHYLOCK is at once a spy story, a political thriller, a meditation on identity, and a confession.
