Operation Shylock would be a great read for those who enjoy books that challenge the boundaries of reality and explore complex philosophical questions. Roth's writing style is both suspenseful and humorous, and the book's exploration of identity and Jewish identity is thought-provoking. The cast of memorable characters, including Israeli intelligence agents, a cast-off of Anti-Semites Anonymous, and Palestinian exiles, adds to the book's appeal. While the book's narrative may be unpredictable, its nuanced portrayal of complex themes makes it a compelling read.

A fiendishly imaginative book that features Israeli intelligence agents, Palestinian exiles, an accused war criminal, and an enticing charter member of an organization called Anti-Semites Anonymous.In 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.
