Operation Shylock: A Confession

The novel follows Philip Roth, the narrator, on a journey to Israel where he attends the trial of John Demjanjuk and becomes embroiled in an intelligence mission.

He encounters an impersonator who has taken on his identity and is promoting 'Diasporism,' a reverse-Zionist ideology advocating the return of European Jews to Europe.

The story delves into themes of identity, imposture, truth, and fiction, set against the backdrop of the First Intifada and the Demjanjuk trial.

The narrative is marked by its blend of comedy, philosophical speculation, and historical resonance, leaving the reader to question the boundaries between fact and fiction.
