'Liquidation, suspenseful and bleakly comic, reads like a treatise
on the mystery of the end of life and the mystery of suicide... A
compelling if deeply unsettling work' Independent Kingbitter, an
editor at a failing publishing house, believes himself to have been
the closest friend of B., a celebrated writer and Auschwitz
survivor, who recently committed suicide. Amongst the papers B. has
left him, Kingbitter finds a play entitled Liquidation that
uncannily predicts the behaviour of B.'s ex-wife, his mistress and
Kingbitter himself. As he obsessively reads and rereads the play,
Kingbitter becomes transfixed with the idea that buried within
these papers is B.'s great novel: the book that will explain his
relationship with Auschwitz.
