Juice is a masterpiece. A great novel for our times from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim
Winton. Coming October 2024. Two fugitives a man and a child drive all night across a stony
desert. And as dawn breaks they roll into an abandoned mine site. From the vehicle they survey
a forsaken place - middens of twisted iron rusty wire piles of sun-baked trash. They're
exhausted traumatised desperate now. But as a refuge this is the most promising place
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 and to survive our man is going to have to start talking.
Storytelling for his life . . . So begins a searing propulsive journey through a life whose
central challenge is not simply a matter of survival but of how to maintain human decency as
everyone around you falls ever further into selfish barbarism.
