The Resource Tsiolkas, Christos, 1965-

Description: Australian author Christos Tsiolkas writes disturbing, transgressive fiction that peers behind outward appearances to expose the truth underneath. His bleak tales adroitly discern the ugliness behind the facade of civilization, whether something as expansive as Europe's blood-drenched past or as small as the petty bigotry and anger lurking behind a banal suburban barbecue. Rife with profanity and sexuality, Tsiolkas' gritty prose, frequently populated with deeply unlikable characters, has an in-your-face, confrontational quality that alternates between off-putting and exhilarating, while his intricate plotting is marked by multiple timelines and viewpoints. Start with: The Slap
