The sensational international bestseller by Australia's "preeminent
contemporary novelist" ("The Age"), in his United States debut
Winner of the 2009 Commonwealth Writers' Prize, Christos
Tsiolkas's "The Slap" is a riveting page-turner and a powerful,
haunting rumination on contemporary middle-class family life. When
a man slaps a child who is not his own at a neighborhood barbecue,
the act triggers a series of repercussions in the lives of the
people who witness the event-causing them to reassess their values,
expectations, and desires. For readers of Jonathan Franzen and Tom
Perrotta, this is a compelling account of modern society and the
way we live today.
