At Kirkus: John Wyndham and the Global Expansion of Science Fiction
One of my favorite activities is to browse through used bookstores to see what turns up. One recent purchase was a pair of John Wyndham novels, The Day of the Triffids and The Kraken Wakes. They’re gorgeous Penguin editions with some outstanding cover art.
In reading up on Wyndham’s life, what becomes immediately apparent is the ever-growing state of the science fiction world is, and how authors sometimes have to balance between the genre community and wider audiences.
