Shylock is my name
Book • 2016
In 'Shylock Is My Name', Howard Jacobson reimagines Shakespeare's classic through the character of Simon Strulovitch, a wealthy art dealer grappling with his daughter's relationship choices.
The novel juxtaposes Strulovitch with the original Shylock, delving into contemporary issues of Jewish identity and societal prejudices.
Jacobson's work is both a tribute to Shakespeare and a critique of modern society's handling of these timeless themes.
