Tibor Fisher'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 anti-Soviet uprising of 1956. In this spirited indictment of totalitarianism, the two improbably heroes, Pataki and Gyuri, travel the length and breadth of Hungary in a epic quest for food, lodging, and female companionship. Reviews 'Ferociously funny, bitterly sad, and perfectly paced' A.S. Byatt; 'A picaresque romp' San Francisco Chronicle; 'That it is a witty, perfectly charming work takes nothing away from its devastating and tragic irony' The Boston Globe |
