Operation Shylock: A Confession, (Paperback)

<p><b>"One of Roth's grand inventions. . . . [He is] a comic genius." -<i>The New York Review of Books</i></b></p><p><b>"A brilliant novel of ideas. . . . Roth has gone farther into his own genius than he ever has before." -<i>The Nation</i></b></p><p><b>"The uncontested master of comic irony." -<i>Time</i></b></p><p><b>"Diabolically clever, engaging. . . . [A] white-water unstoppable narrative. . . . Roth is so spelndidly convincing. . . that the result is kind of a dizzying exhilaration." -<i>The Boston Globe</i></b></p><p>In this fiendishly imaginative book (which may or may not be ficftion), Philip Roth meets a man who may or may not be Philip Roth. Because someone with that name has been touring Israel, promoting a bizarre reverse exodus of the Jews. Roth is intent on stopping him, even if that means impersonating <br>his own impersonator.</p><p>With excruciating suspense, unfettered philosophical speculation, and a cast of characters that includes Israeli intelligence agents, Palestinian exiles, an accused war criminal, and an enticing charter member of an organization called Anti-Semites Anonymous, <i>Operation Shylock</i> barrels across the frontier between fact and fiction, seriousness and high comedy, history and nightmare.</p>
