| book description |

Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is ingeniously reinvented by Howard Jacobson, in his merciless, sharp and funny story of revenge, justice and antisemitism. â€˜Who is this guy, Dad? What is he doing here?â€™ With an absent wife and a daughter going off the rails, wealthy art collector and philanthropist Simon Strulovitch is in need of someone to talk to. So when he meets Shylock at a cemetery in Cheshireâ€™s Golden Triangle, he invites him back to his house. Itâ€™s the beginning of a remarkable friendship... â€˜Inspired...It does what any good literary subversion should do: deepens and enhances one's appreciation of the originalâ€™ Guardian â€˜Jacobsonâ€™s prose has the sort of elastic precision you only get from a writer who is truly in commandâ€¦ There's also deep and sincere soul-searching going on hereâ€™ Independent SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as youâ€™ve never seen him before: nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.
