Library Voices presents the author of the bestselling The Slap - Christos Tsiolkas.

At a suburban barbecue one afternoon, a man slaps an unruly three-year-old boy. The boy is not his son. It is a single act of violence, but the slap reverberates through the lives of everyone who witnesses it. The Slap won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize 2009 and has been on Australian bestseller lists since its publication in 2008. It’s now a bestseller in Ireland and the UK and is one of the most talked-about novels of the year. Not to be missed!
