I've just finished The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas- I loved the vibrant, unmistakeable Australianness of it, and the basic plot premise, and the characters and relationships were all very real, human, rounded and flawed. But I couldn't shake a nagging disappointment in the writing- a but lazy and predictable in places?
Just starting Rabbit, Run (John Updike). Never read anything by him before- anyone?
