«De klap» is the novel by Christos Tsiolkas, published by Anthos Amsterdam in 2010 in paperback (455 pages, in Dutch).
At a barbecue, someone slaps a child who is not theirs; the gesture, witnessed by several people, has a profound impact on those present. Tsiolkas shows them forced to re-examine their ways of life, expectations and desires, and portrays modern coexistence and the norms and values that each seems to define on their own.
It is the Dutch translation of The Slap, original work from 2008; the translators are Paul Bruijn and Noor Koch.
For reading groups and for readers of contemporary fiction interested in family and moral dilemmas.
Christos Tsiolkas is an Australian author, playwright, and screenwriter. He is especially known for The Slap, which was both well-received critically and highly successful commercially. Several of his books have been adapted for film and television.
