Evidence

I stuck by that pledge for thirty years. So I was annoyed when my research into literary doppelgangers kept leading me, like a persistent dog scratching at my door, to Operation Shylock, a doppelganger novel that many considered Roth’s masterwork. — Naomi Klein, Doppelganger, 452

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the book’s central doubling device — Klein’s own Other Naomi is a real-life version of the doppelganger premise Roth fictionalized.
