Jonah Levine’s Reviews > The Slap > Status Update

Tsiolkas exposes every character’s terrible inner thoughts, and it’s delicious. It feels scandalous at first, but there’s a realization that everyone thinks those things you could never say out loud, never admit to thinking, even to yourself after the initial emotion goes through your mind. It seems like no one is going to be a good person in this story - obscuring the moral question of the slap. Great so far.
