One of my favorite contemporary English writer is Tibor Fischer. A lionized author translated in many languages. Born of refugee Hungarian parents, both basketball players.
His first novel "Under the frog" tells the story of a Hungarian basketball player dreaming to escape to west from the communist Hungary. In "Thought gang" we meet a middle aged philosopher turned to bank robbery in France. In "Don't read this book if you're stupid" we read six stories of eccentric and crazy characters and a narrative of his travel in revolutionary Romania.
