Join us for an evening of literary conversation with Tibor Fischer, the acclaimed British-Hungarian novelist.
This special London book launch event takes place at the Liszt Institute London.Set against the surreal, sun-drenched landscape of Dubai, My Bags Are Big is a darkly comic novel exploring wealth, reinvention and regret. With his trademark wit and philosophical sharpness, Fischer follows Dan – a man burdened by money, memories and a past that refuses to stay buried. Moving deftly between ambition and reflection, bravado and vulnerability, the novel examines desire and the uneasy cost of pretending you have moved on, all delivered with biting humour and unmistakable style.
About the Author Tibor Fischer is the acclaimed author of Under the Frog, The Thought Gang and several other celebrated novels. His work has been praised for its originality, intelligence and audacious comedy by critics ranging from The Guardian to Christopher Hitchens. My Bags Are Big has been named by New Statesman as “the best fiction to read this year” and selected by Shortlist Magazine as one of the most anticipated books of 2026, confirming Fischer’s reputation as a writer who continues to surprise, provoke and entertain.
