pickThe Lebs is a very real story of a marginalised community. at its heart, it is a story about identity. In it, Ahmad considers in particular, how we are shaped by our cultural identity; what it means when that cultural identity operates in opposition to others, and what happens when the expectations and by extension opportunities of your culture, are at odds with what you want for yourself, or who you feel you are.
pickWow and wow! Not sure how best to review this book. Except to say read it. Gave me an insight into so much. It might be confronting to some . A brave write. So glad I read it. Again WOW. @MrsMalaprop .
Important Australian literature. Thought Year 11 and 12. So much discussion .

Shortlisted for the Miles Franklin, this is a confrontational book about growing up “Leb” in Australia. I don‘t think there is another author writing this frankly about these issues and in such a punchy style. This book will be offensive to some, I felt uncomfortable about plenty of things here, yet it got me to ask myself why and to consider how you might see the world when you grow up branded by the horrific actions of others.
