Populate and Perish

The freshest writing to come out of Melbourne since Christos Tsiolkasâ Loaded.
Nick is treading water. No boyfriend. No career. Living in a granny flat in Fitzroy North. 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 â the dog. In Beirut Nick and Amira find family, a sense of belonging and surprising answers to questions they hadnât 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.

George Haddad has had many jobs that have nothing to do with writing. He performs poetry and has never had a blog. He writes about humans and their bizarre relationship with honesty and has penned a plethora of short stories and essays that heâs never tried to have published. He recently graduated from Melbourne University with a Masters of Creative Writing, Publishing and Editing.Â
