Join Miles Franklin-shortlisted author and leader in the Australian literature world, Michael Mohammed Ahmad, as he discusses his devastating and gritty fourth novel Bugger with expert facilitator and cultural commentator Benjamin Law.

Devastatingly poignant, tender and gritty, Bugger offers an uncompromising representation of abuse and explores the impact one day can have on a lifetime. As the director of Sweatshop Literacy Movement, Mohammed mentors countless young writers as they craft their deeply personal stories. In his latest novel, he demonstrates the literary craft and emotional honesty required for such a position, resulting in a work that is “layered and politically attuned, attentive to the intersections of race, class, gender and power”.
