New millennium boyz / by Kazemi, Alex,author.;
In Alex Kazemi's debut novel, Brad Sela is living an apathetic suburban life in his affluent neighbourhood until two new friends drag him down a destructive path toward self-discovery. 'New Millennium Boyz' presents an uncensored and unsettling portrait of the year 2000 that never could have aired on MTV. It is an unnerving examination of the collision of traditional masculinity, the early internet, and irresistible pop culture that shaped the turn of the century and transformed the way boys engage with the world.
