Operation Shylock. A Confession

What if a look-alike strange stole your name, usurped your biography, and went about the world pretending to be you? In this tour de force of fact and fiction, Philip Roth meets a man who may not be Philip Roth. Because someone with that name has been touring the State of Israel, promoting a bizarre exodus in reverse, Roth decides to stop him - event if that means impersonating his impersonator. Suspenseful, hilarious, hugely, impassioned, pulsing with intelligence an narrative energy, Operation Shylock is at once a spy story, a political thriller, a meditation on identity, and a confession.
