The Hungarians have an expression for the worst place in the world to be: "Under the frog's ass down a coal mine." Under the Frog , Tibor Fischer's brilliant recreation of postwar Eastern Europe, was the surprise literary success of London, where it won the Betty Trask Award and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
