Christos Tsiolkas: Class and Sport in Australia

Venue

Lennox Theatre

Dates

23 May 2014

In The Slap, Christos Tsiolkas dissected modern suburban Australia with an unflinching eye. In his new novel Barracuda, he looks at class envy, politics, migration, education and ever-pervasive sport. Should we teach our children to win, or to live?
