Description
In this powerful and riveting novel reminiscent of Liane Moriarty's Truly, Madly, Guilty, literary phenomenon Christos Tsiolkas unflinchingly exposes the inner workings of domestic life, friendship, and parenthood in the twenty-first century, and reminds us of the passions and malice that family loyalty can provoke. When a man slaps another couple's child at a neighborhood barbecue, the event send unforeseeable shock waves through the lives of all who are witness to it. Told from the points of view of eight people who were present, The Slap shows how a single action can change the way people think about how they live, what they want, and what they believe forever.

Ein interessantes Thema: eine Ohrfeige, die ein Kind, dem nie Grenzen gesetzt wurden auf einer Party von einem Erwachsenen erhält und die Auswirkungen, die diese Ohrfeige im gesamten Familien- und Freundeskreis hat. Im Laufe werden alle Personen der Party und ihr näheres Umfeld beschrieben. Was mich gestört hat waren die mir oft zu prollig beschriebenen Sexszenen und der selbstverständliche ständige Konsum von Drogen. Sex and drugs. Wollte deswegen das Buch schon abbrechen, habe es aber doch zu Ende gelesen und fand das Buch auch rund und den Schluss gelungen. Trotzdem kann ich es nicht unbedingt empfehlen.
Writing disturbing sex scenes just to shock the readers/audience is cheap. Summary: No likable characters (majority adults) realize they hate their life and try to run away from their problems doing drugs, cheating and get involved in the business of other’s. The only thing I enjoyed about this book was the diversity.
