B.-a writer of high literary reputation whose birth and survival in Auschwitz defied all probability-has taken his own life. Among his papers, his friend Kingbitter discovers a play titled \"Liquidation in which he reads an eerie foretelling of the personal and political crises that he and B.'s other friends now face: having survived the Holocaust and the years of Communist rule, having experienced the surge of hopefulness that rose from the rubble of the Wall, they are left with little but a sense of chaos and an utter loss of identity. \u003cbr\u003eKingbitter, desperate to understand his friend's suicide, begins a furious search for the novel he believes might be among B.'s papers and might provide the key. But the search takes him in unexpected directions: deep into his own memories and into those of B.'s ex-wife, Judith, the hidden corners of their lives revealed-to themselves and to us-at the same time as the mystery of B.'s life is slowly unraveled. \u003cbr\u003eAn intricately layered story of history and humanity-powerful, disturbing, lyrical, achingly suspenseful, brilliantly told. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"From the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45410474197143,"sku":"9781400075058","price":1270.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781400075058.webp?v=1767312689","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/liquidation-9781400075058","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
