With a Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, Man Booker Prize, and Holberg Prize between them, authors and William Shakespeare scholars Stephen Greenblatt and Howard Jacobson will join forces next week to discuss Jacobson’s latest book on the bard.

The book, “Shylock Is My Name,’’ is a modern take on Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice,’’ and the discussion, which takes place March 22 at Congregation Kehillath Israel in Brookline, will include readings from the play by members of the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company.

Greenblatt, a Harvard University literature professor who earlier this month was awarded the Holberg by the Norwegian parliament for his work in the humanities, is the author of the Shakespeare bio “Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare’’ as well as the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning book “The Swerve: How the World Became Modern.’’ A self-described “Jewish Jane Austen,’’ Jacobson won the Man Booker Prize in 2010 for his novel “The Finkler Question.’’
