Summary: 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.
