Set in postwar Eastern Europe, "Under the Frog" is Tibor Fischer's brilliant and witty debut novel. It follows two young men who survive the chaos of communism as part of a traveling basketball team, in pursuit of sex and the avoidance of work. Exuberant and energetic, this black comedy offers a fascinating and oblique commentary on everyday life in Hungary during those dramatic years, leading up to the 1956 uprising. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize and winner of the Betty Trask Award, it is a must-read for fans of literary fiction.
