Inhaltsangabe

WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE IF A LOOK-ALIKE STRANGER STOLE YOUR NAME, USURPED YOUR BIOGRAPHY, AND WENT ABOUT THE WORLD PRETENDING TO BE YOU? In Philip Roth's extraordinary new book, he 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. Suspenseful, hilarious, demonic, pulsing with intelligence and narrative energy, 'Operation Shylock' is at once a spy story, a political thriller, a meditation on identity, and a confession.
