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.’seffects, Kingsbitter finds a play that eerily predicts events after his death. Whydid B.—who was born at Auschwitz and miraculously survived–take his life?
