Wild Woila reviewed The Lebs by Michael Mohammed Ahmad
Deeply uncomfortable
3 stars
A deeply uncomfortable portrayal of Lebanese teenage boys in western Sydney as dumb, racist, misogynistic, sex-obsessed fundamentalists. The last third was more interesting, as the protagonist struggles with the foreignness & ugliness of the White world that he has always idolised.
