A tragicomic picaresque about two basketball players travelling through war-torn Hungary in pursuit of food, sex and adventure.

Tibor Fischer's hilarious first novel follows the adventures of two young Hungarian basketball players through the turbulent years between the end of World War II and the revolution of 1956. In this spirited indictment of totalitarianism, the two improbable heroes, Pataki and Gyuri, travel the length and breadth of Hungary in an epic quest for food, lodging, and female companionship.

Industry Reviews

"I began Under the Frog on a crowded double decker in a London traffic jam...and soon found myself laughing like an idiot... It is a triumph...painfully moving, it is also uproariously funny" Guardian "A remarkable first novel" Daily Telegraph "Original and impressive... Sharp, funny and moving" Independent "A quite wonderful book... He takes a serious subject...and is seriously funny about it...the result is plausible, insolent, sophisticated and hungry... Glorious!" -- Michael Hoffman "A funny, slangy, tragic, impeccably researched romp... A richly convincing line-up of skivers, copulators, opportunists and, above all, survivors in the face of oppression" Independent on Sunday
