About this title

Synopsis

The people of Salvation are ready for a saviour and when Ernie, The Slapping Man, enters their lives he beguiles them with a most unusual patter: "Don't be sad, no need to frown, The Slapping Man has come to town. Feel your life's a horrid trap? Just step up and take a slap!"

About the Author

ANDREW LINDSAY has worked in journalism and theatre, and prepared four oral histories of Collingwood, Melbourne's archetypical working class community. The most recent of these, When Fish Had Feathers, was commended in the Victorian Community History Awards 2003.

Andrew's first novel, The Breadmaker's Carnival, was published by Allen + Unwin in hardback and paper editions. German and US editions followed. Joint winner of the Jim Hamilton Award, it delighted readers around the country and attracted stunning reviews. His much anticipated second novel, The Slapping Man, continues to entertain with extraordinary energy and talent.
