Video: Novelist Christos Tsiolkas Reads from The Slap

In this video, Christos Tsiolkas reads an excerpt from his novel The Slap, which explores the changing lifestyle of Australia’s middle-class and confronts issues such as multiculturalism, homophobia, and infidelity.

Tsiolkas visited Sampsonia Way on April 27 of 2010 to give a reading with Tommy Wieringa and Sofi Oksanen. The event was sponsored by City of Asylum/Pittsburgh in partnership with PEN/America.

While he was here, Tsiolkas sat down for a conversation with Sampsonia Way editor Silvia Duarte.
