Описание к видео Plot summary, “Operation Shylock: A Confession” by Philip Roth in 5 Minutes - Book Review

Operation Shylock: A Confession (1993) by Philip Roth is a semi-autobiographical, postmodern novel that blends fiction and reality. It follows a fictionalized Roth traveling to Israel during the high-profile trial of John Demjanjuk, a Ukrainian accused of being a notorious Nazi war criminal. While there, Roth discovers an imposter, Moishe Pipik, promoting "Diasporism," a reverse-Zionist philosophy advocating the return of Israelis to Europe. Roth becomes embroiled in a surreal quest to confront his doppelgänger, crossing paths with Mossad agents, political intrigues, and philosophical dilemmas, all under the shadow of Shakespeare’s Shylock.
