"Basketball, nudism, communism...Like one of Fischer's characters says "Life is too short for good books...one should only read great books (p. 78)". This is a great book. Instantly one of my favorites of all time.
Under the Frog is about a basketball team in Hungary in the late 1950's/ early 1960's. It has a certain level of familiar Eastern European absurdity to it, it never lets you down with it's wit, and it gives a nice interesting slice of history.
Tibor's use of language is impressive too. His lines constantly tempt consideration/reconsideration..."pain and pains subsidiaries..." "The Stalin statue statued on, sodomizing the Budapest skyline." I've also never known a writer to use panegyric, unsalubrious, ozymandiased, etc...Sort of a Good Soldier Sjvek/ Gary Steyngart novel."
"TB's first book. Not as laugh-out-loud funny as his others but it's not meant to be. This story is tragic, majestic, moving and fully involving. What a writer - he's one of my favourites."
