Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award
In Operation Shylock, 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 his own impersonator. With suspense, philosophical speculation, and a cast of characters that includes Israeli intelligence agents, Palestinian exiles, and an enticing charter member of an organization called Anti-Semites Anonymous, Operation Shylock barrels across the frontier between fact and fiction, history and nightmare.

Review:
"One of Roth's grand inventions.... [He is] a comic genius...a living master." --Harold Bloom, The New York Review of Books "The uncontested master of comic irony." --Time magazine "A devilish book, nervously exuding a kind of delirious brilliance like sweat at every pore, and madly comic." --Alfred Kazin "A brilliant novel of ideas...Roth has gone farther into his own genius than he ever has before." --Ted Solotaroff, The Nation

[He is] a comic genius." The New York Review of BooksIn this book (which may or may not be fiction), 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 his own impersonator.With excruciating suspense, unfettered philosophical speculation, and a wild cast of characters, Operation Shylock barrels across the frontier between fact and fiction, seriousness and high comedy, history and nightmare.
