Christos Tsiolkas in Conversation

This clip is a highlight. To view the full conversation visit http://www.abc.net.au/tv/fora/stories/2009/05/29/2584314.htm
"The Slap" is a novel that has burst into our nation's conversations. An examination of Australian middle-class culture in the age of John Howard, its central consideration of whether it's acceptable to slap another's child, has kept dinner party conversations raging from Eltham to Fremantle. In this sold-out Sydney Writers' Festival session, novelist Christos Tsiolkas discusses his characters and themes with ABC journalist and writer Leigh Sales.

I think the removal of the soundtrack is deliberate: after all, who wants to hear a reading from "The Slap"?

I am not sure if it is only me, but when I play this clip I get no sound. I can hear the audio on other YouTube clips just fine. I would love to hear this interview! :)
