The slap / Christos Tsiolkas. by Tsiolkas, Christos, 1965- Allen & Unwin, 2008. Call #: FICTION TSI Subjects Families -- Australia -- Fiction.   Interpersonal relations -- Fiction.   Suburban life -- Fiction.   Middle class families -- Fiction.   Child rearing -- Fiction.   Discipline of children -- Fiction.   Commonwealth Writers Prize.   Australia -- Social life and customs -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781554686452 (trade pbk.) Description:  485 p. ; 23 cm. Notes:  "At a suburban barbecue, a man slaps a child who is not his own..."--Cover. Summary:  "At a suburban barbecue, a man slaps a child who is not his own. This event has a shocking ricochet effect on a group of people, mostly friends, who are directly or indirectly influenced by the event. The Slap is told from the points of view of eight people who were present at the barbecue. The slap and its consequences force them all to question their own families and the way they live, their expectations, beliefs and desires. What unfolds is a powerful, haunting novel about love, sex and marriage, parenting and children, and the fury and intensity - all the passions and conflicting beliefs - that family can arouse. In its clear-eyed and forensic dissection of the ever-growing middle class and its aspirations and fears, The Slap is also a poignant, provocative novel about the nature of loyalty and happiness, compromise and truth."--Publisher. Awards:  Winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize, 2009. Genre:  Psychological fiction.
