Populate and Perish (2016)
Winner of the 2016 Seizure Viva La Novella Prize

Young Lebanese-Australian, Nick is treading water. No boyfriend. No career. Living in a granny flat in Coburg and trading sex for money, servicing his male regulars and about to give up on the quest for a proper boyfriend. On a whim he decides to travel with his twin sister, Amira, to Lebanon in search of their estranged father. Their mother, who passed away a couple of years earlier, only ever referred to him as the kalb - the dog. In Beirut Nick and Amira find family, a sense of belonging and surprising answers to questions they hadn't known to ask.

With a razor-sharp wit, incisive social critiques and intensity of feeling, Populate and Perish announces George Haddad as a vital new voice in Australian fiction.

Losing Face (2022)
A stunning, thought-provoking novel about facing up to your family and your future, Losing Face deals with timely issues around consent and inherited trauma.
Joey is young, indifferent. He’s drifting around Western Sydney unaware that his passivity is leading him astray. And then one day he is involved in a violent crime, one that threatens to upend his life entirely.
Elaine, his grandmother, is a proud Lebanese woman with problems of her own. When Joey is arrested, she is desperate to save face and hold herself together. In her family, history repeats itself, vices come and go, and uncovering long-buried secrets isn’t always cathartic.
This gripping and hard-hitting novel reveals the richness and complexity of contemporary Australian life and tests the idea that facing consequences will make us better people.

George Haddad’s Losing Face unites three generations of a Lebanese-Australian family, weaving together a legacy of trauma, a clear-eyed examination of sexual crime and consent, and a stark coming-of-age story.

Joey is a young man numbed by his suburban existence. He drifts through life – working in the produce section at Woolies, experimenting with drugs with his mates – and his lack of assertiveness lands him in trouble with the law. He’s among a group of men arrested for a violent sexual crime in a public park and, as the events of that night are dissected in a courtroom, the narrative alternates with that of Joey’s family, especially his grandmother Elaine, whose own story contains shades of a double life.

Haddad’s sharp and sensitively drawn realism is embedded in an astute psychogeography, instantly recognisable, of a rapidly gentrifying Western Sydney.
