M. John Harrison, 81, Wins the 2026 Booker Prize for The End of Everything, in a Unanimous Judges' Decision, Taking the GBP 50,000 Prize From 163 Submissions
London — The Booker Prizes announced on November 9 that British author M. John Harrison had won the 2026 Booker Prize for his novel The End of Everything, at a ceremony at Old Billingsgate in London.
At 81, Harrison became the oldest winner in the prize's history, the organizers said, and he will receive a prize of GBP 50,000.
Mary Beard, chair of the judging panel, said the Booker judges spent a whole day debating the six remarkable novels on this year's shortlist, before agreeing unanimously to award the 2026 prize to Harrison's book.
The six finalists were selected from a longlist of 13 books drawn from 163 submissions, the organizers said.
The End of Everything was Harrison's first nomination for the Booker Prize. It is also the first Booker Prize win for his publisher, Serpent's Tail, an imprint of independent press Profile Books, and its fifth nomination for the prize.
At 198 pages, the book was the shortest on this year's shortlist, according to the organizers and reporting of the ceremony, and its publisher billed it as a satirical and unsettling post-apocalyptic adventure.
