{"product_id":"liquidation","title":"Imre Kertesz: Liquidation [2007] paperback","description":"Kingbitter, an editor at a publishing house on the verge of closure, believes himself to have been the closest friend of a celebrated writer and Auschwitz survivor, B, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarrowing but also bleakly comic, Liquidation is both a literary detective novel and an exploration of how B's decision to end his life after surviving the horrors of Auschwitz affects those he leaves behind.","brand":"Kertesz, Imre","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46709990981971,"sku":"9780099512745","price":12.84,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/kertesz-imre-imre-kertesz-liquidation-2007-paperback-9780099512745-59090146492755.jpg?v=1727161877","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/liquidation","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
