Philip Roth: Novels 1993-1995 (LOA #205): Operation Shylock / Sabbath's Theater
ISBN: 9781598530780 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 842 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The Library of America's definitive edition of Philip Roth's collected works continues with two novels that heralded the beginning of a more than decade-long creative explosion-one remarkable in an older writer and hailed by critics as unparalleled in American literary history. In the diabolically imaginative Operation Shylock (1993), a character named Philip Roth encounters a look-alike who claims Roth's identity and who tours Israel promoting a bizarre reverse exodus of the Jews-proselytizing the "real" Roth is intent on stopping, even if it means impersonating his impersonator.
