The Slap
Christos Tsiolkas@LoreleiLiBan Hmmm good question! Straight off the top of my head… Christos Tsiolkas’ ‘The Slap’ (Australian TV series) or Paul Torday’s ‘Salmon Fishing in the Yemen’ (film).

Wolf Pack
Will DeanThe perfect set up: wine, snacks and @willrdean. On Tuva Moodyson’s radar is a missing girl and a curious compound. Waco wackos or pragmatic survivalists? Get ready for the PLOT TO THICKEN. He may be British but his scandi-noir novels are top notch. I recommend them all #WolfPack https://t.co/7zjnkY1gSx
