About the Book

International intrigue and psychological suspense combine in this stylish literary thriller. A mysterious Israeli who refers to himself by the codename "Shakespeare," and who seems to be a former Mossad agent, is either cracking up or cracking the case of a bungled assignment from long ago-one that left his partner and best friend dead, and himself in an agony of despair. His only solace- friends in the espionage business tell him the murderer is dead. Now, years later, in another life, Shakespeare spots the murderer on the streets of New york...or does he?In the hands of esteemed Israeli author Joshua Sobol, the tale is a masterful blend of genres- It's beautifully written work filled with literary allusions and a taut spy thriller. It's a moving recollection of a purposeful youth and a graphic account of the hunt for terrorists. It's the story of a mid-life crisis and the endless crisis of the middle east. It's a work of wild and whimsical word-play and fast-paced, deadly gun-play.It is, in short, the English-language debut of a mesmerizing writer at the top of his form.

About the Author :
Joshua Sobol born in Tel Mond, Palestine (now Israel) in 1939, is an internationally acclaimed playwright. His Soul of a Jew was performed at the Edinburgh, Berlin and Chicago Festivals, and Ghetto won the Evening Standard and the London Critics award for Best Play of the Year after running at the Royal National Theater in London in 1989. He is the author of one other novel, Silence, which won the Sapir Prize, Israel's most prestigious literary prize. This is his first novel published in English.

Review :
"Cut Throat Dog is truly a piece of captivating literature....Its pages are seductive and sumptuously written, poignantly telling the Jewish history of the 20th century." --The Jewish Times "All of the literary feints and riddles together act as both a send-up and earnest critique of covert culture. [Cut Throat Dog] hints at the way government secrecy bleeds into civilian life, making it even more quixotic and less secure." --Time Out Chicago "In these pages, we leave the macho realm of agents, prostitutes and bars, and find ourselves reliving the harrowing experiences of an entire generation." --The Jerusalem Post "A breathtaking, brilliantly written, furiously kaleidoscopic series of personal and historical, tragic, comic, bizarre and banal events telling with startling completeness the Jewish history of the 20th century ..." --Die Zeit "...a literary riddle of admirable subtlety." --Andrea Neuhaus, literaturkritik.de
