The Story

Tibor Fischer's brilliant and hilarious first novel (short-listed for the 1993 Booker Prize) follows the fortunes and picaresque adventures of two young Hungarian basketball players from the end of World War II through the anti-Soviet uprising of 1956. Pataki and Gyuri travel the length and breadth of Hungary, frequently naked, in the determined pursuit of sex and the avoidance of work. A satiric but searing indictment of totalitarianism.
