Operation Shylock: A Confession

Roth's most ambitious and daring novel for many years, Operation Shylock is at once a real-life espionage thriller, an erotic obsession, the search for a Philip Roth "double", and a "confession" that tells the true story of Roth's recruitment for an intelligence mission by Israel's Mossad. The results are sometimes terrifying, sometimes hilarious, and always dramatic.
