THE 2026 BOOKER BOOK CLUB

So a week before the 2026 winner is announced, for one night only in
the Brunswick Ballroom, Australia's favourite book clubbers invite you to
join to thrash out the highs and lows of the six books on this year's
shortlist.

• The End of Everything by M. John Harrison
• The Disappearers by Marlon James
• Black Bag by Luke Kennard
• May We Feed the King by Rebecca Perry
• The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout
• John of John by Douglas Stuart

ABC bookclub favourites Marieke Hardy and Jason Steger will be joined by
celebrated author Tony Birch and host Michael Williams to dissect, disagree
and throw the floor open for your bookclub to come and share your views.
Pick your favourites, complain about the oversights, and mull over the
trends and judges' peccadillos, all over a comradely drink.
