Longlisted The Climate Fiction Prize 2026

One of The Guardian's best sci-fi books of the year.

An edge-of-your-seat, post-apocalyptic thriller. Perfect for fans of The Last of Us, Station Eleven and The Road, from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim Winton.

'Will stab your conscience and break your heart’ – Emma Donoghue
'A blistering cli-fi epic' – The Guardian

Survival is only the beginning.

Two fugitives, a man and a child, drive across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. They’re exhausted, traumatized, desperate now, and this is a forsaken place, but as a refuge it’s the most promising they’ve seen. The child peers at the field of desolation. The man thinks to himself, this could work.

Problem is, they’re not alone . . .

So begins a searing journey through a life where the challenge is not only to survive; it’s keeping your humanity if you do.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Juice is a masterful story for the ages . . . There is anger and revenge to reckon with but Winton carries the reader all the way along. Juice is a book to hold close in the whip of hot wind, to commiserate with, to sing with. To read and weep
A hold-your-breath adventure set in an utterly plausible, sun-hammered future, Juice will stab your conscience and break your heart (Emma Donoghue)
Some of the most high-octane thriller writing I’ve come across (Luke Kennard, Daily Telegraph)
Like some old-time saga, an oral epic told forward into history (Cynan Jones)
Winton’s new novel is no dream. It lies before us, a must-read masterpiece from one of Australia’s most celebrated writers
Full of surprises and stunning originality . . . Winton poses a tantalising and urgent question
A narrative force that feels almost cyclonic
This is a thrilling ride across an all-too imaginable landscape and a terrible cautionary vision. Magnificent
Utterly absorbing . . . It's a thrilling story of survival and adventure, and a dark glimpse into our world's possible future
Winton powerfully captures the cumulative damage of combat and betrayal. . . Despite its raw grief and pain, Juice is not a nihilistic book. Instead, it insists on the necessity of hope even in the face of insurmountable odds, and on the notion that our survival depends on our capacity to care for one another
For fans of The Road, this is a chunky novel to immerse yourself in — an epic story of the struggle to survive
Juice, Winton has said, means “human resilience and moral courage”, and there is that in spades in this complex, riveting book already being hailed as a masterpiece
Moving and beautiful . . . In the wrecked world Winton imagines, perhaps it is finally only machines who can live with what we still call honour
A barnstorming, coruscating work of fiction, a heavyweight literary novel that sits squarely in the growing canon of "climate fiction" and it feels to me to be an instant classic of that genre. I strongly recommend it
A sweeping epic, that’s gripping and extraordinarily well written . . . this is a labour of love for Winton that’s well and truly paid off
Winton can switch expertly from a thriller-like account of one of the Service’s assassinations to an account of how our man unexpectedly found love
Forget the speculative fictions of melancholic environmental warning: the novel of bloody eco reckoning is here . . . Juice is in part a rare fictional study of revolutionary violence - its mentalities, possibilities and limitations (Tom Seymour Evans, TLS)
I absolutely loved it (Mel Giedroyc, Front Row, BBC Radio 4)

I normally listen to non fiction but heard this reviewed on R4 and they all loved it so gave it a go. A bleak but compelling story of a future earth gone through climate disaster that is totally believable and indeed predicted if we carry on. But it’s not preaching to the past, it’s a tale of survival in the inferno of an earth where climate heating has run away. It’s a story of suffering and attempt at dignity told in a grim situation. I could not stop listening but didn’t want it to end. The narrators voice is perfect, the story powerful, one of the best audio books I have had the pleasure and pain to experience.

Totally captivating

I listened to the whole book on 1.5 speed. The narration is so drawn out to the point of being boring. At 1.2 it is fine, 1.5 good. The story is quite good but a little confused, like the collective people have resources for planes and guns and travel the world fighting the cartels, who also have resources to fight on. But he is describing a world torn apart but extreme temperatures anf floods, where people hide under ground for 6months of a year. where are the food and resources coming from. If you dont rationalise it too much its an ok story. Ending is unsatisfactory too.

A climate change western

I feel a bit miserly awarding ‘Juice’ only three stars. The book carries an important climate change message; it’s engaging, ghastly, gripping enough; and it has one or two moments where the prose really glitters. But it has a perculia and improbable structure, which kind of under-mines it.
Let’s be nice and start with the glittering prose: two examples:
“The next morning I went about my work like someone impersonating himself. It was as if the frame holding me upright had been compromised””.
“The clouds looming in the northeastern sky were like a troop of towering black figures: ruthless, nomadic, seething, with faceless, anvil-shaped black heads”.
Good, isn’t it?
The book’s opening passage is basically Cormac McCarthy’s ‘the Road’ with wheels. But {spoiler} our hero and his charge get snagged by a desperado, who locks them in his lair. The entire plot then follows, in the form of a retrospective delivered by the hero, to his captor. And that’s the problem. It’s a novel. Nobody tells their life history in the exact form of a fully fledged novel, glittering prose and all. The structure also drains the novel of the nail-biting drama it ought to have, because of course, we always know our hero will survive in tact.
It’s a shame; I feel sure ‘Juice’ would have worked fine with a more straightforward structure. And then it might have been credible and suspenseful.

The story is great: atmospheric, post-apocalyptic dystopia. The narration by David Field adds another level of menace and, at times, pathos.

Great story with an even better narration!

Great performance by the narrator. Such a beautiful angry story of a future that seems more likely every day.
