VIC:Tsiolkas elated at The Slap series
Melbourne author CHRISTOS TSIOLKAS says he feels proud and humble about how his explosive
novel The Slap has translated into television.
The 2008 novel tells how a child is slapped at a suburban barbecue by an adult who
is not his parent, and the impact on the lives of those involved, with copious amounts
of sex, drugs and middle-class angst embedded in the story.
ABC Television has turned the book into an eight-part series due to screen in September,
and TV director KIM DALTON says audiences should prepare for some uncomfortable viewing.
