Die Tatsachen - das sind die faktischen Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen des Autors, aus denen die fiktiven Personen und Handlungen seiner Romane entstanden sind: die Jugend im jüdischen Kleinbürgermilieu, der erste Zusammenstoß mit dem Antisemitismus, die Katastrophe einer Ehe und Erschütterungen durch den Vietnamkrieg. Und mit Verblüffung erkennt der Leser, in welchem Maße die Welt im Roman von Philip Roth der Wirklichkeit entspricht.

WINNER OF THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD • From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral—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 "One of Roth's grand inventions.... [He is] a comic genius." —The New York Review of Books 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.
