Imre Kert?sz's savagely lyrical and suspenseful new novel traces
the continuing echoes the Holocaust and communism in the
consciousness of contemporary Eastern Europe.
Ten years after the fall of communism, a writer named B. commits
suicide, devastating his circle and deeply puzzling his friend
Kingsbitter. For among B.'s effects, Kingsbitter finds a play that
eerily predicts events after his death. Why did B.-who was born at
Auschwitz and miraculously survived-take his life? As Kingsbitter
searches for the answer -and for the novel he is convinced lies
hidden among his friend's papers-"Liquidation" becomes an inquest
into the deeply compromised inner life of a generation. The result
is moving, revelatory and haunting.
