He is the author of two acclaimed works of fiction – a novel, ''Tell the Running Water''〔Felicity Bloch, The Search for Redemption and Resolution: Review of Tell the Running Water, The Saturday Age, 18 August 2001.〕〔Tony Maniati, When Worlds Collide for Tension's Sake, The Weekend Australian, 21 July 2001.〕 and a collection of short stories, ''The Secret Maker of the World'' – as well as an award-winning memoir, ''Leave to Remain'', about growing up in civil-war Lebanon and migrating to Europe and Australia.〔(Saadi Nikro. 2010.

His work has appeared in the New York Times the Guardian the Age, the Sydney Morning Herald, as well as literary magazines Meanjin, Heat and Overland. His work is a manifestation of a growing number of Anglo-Arab and Franco-Arab writers, emerging in the 2000s, especially authors from a Lebanese background writing in English or French, post Lebanese civil war, such as Rabih Alameddine, Nada Awar Jarrar, Wajdi Mouawad and Rawi Hage, in whose work themes of violence, loss, memory and identity are prominent.〔〔(p49 of Leila Al Maleh. 2007.
