As Bani goes day to day, he struggles to reconcile his beliefs and dreams with the expectations of his friends. Bani’s Lebanese and Lebs rule the school, but he also dreams of becoming a writer and that’s not something his friends are going to understand. In fact as far as he’s concerned he’s the only one who studies there. Bani Adam studies at Punchbowl Boys High. The Lebs takes us back to Sydney of the late nineties. Mohammed joins Andrew Pople in the studio to discuss growing up in Sydney, literary influences, and the importance of coming to voice for writers of colour. Today’s Great Conversation is with Michael Mohammed Ahmad. Mohammed is the author of the collection ‘The Tribe’, as well as the founder and director of Sweatshop the Western Sydney Writers Collective. It’s not always possible to use the full conversation live to air and this is your chance to discover more secrets and hidden gems about the books you love… Great conversations is a look at some of the fantastic authors and writers we feature every week on Final Draft.
