The Year Without Sunshine

"The Year Without Sunshine" is a 2023 science fiction novelette by Naomi Kritzer.

It was first published in Uncanny Magazine.

In the wake of a natural disaster, the residents of a Minneapolis neighborhood undertake a collective effort to keep each other alive.

"The Year Without Sunshine" won the 2024 Nebula Award for Best Novelette[1] and Hugo Award for Best Novelette.

[2] Locus called it "hopeful" and "well-considered, well-researched, and well-written", but asked whether "such a kind and caring urban island would inevitably be confronted by less amiable folks who have an awful lot of arms and ammo".
