    Extractions: John Wyndham, The Day of the Triffids (Doubleday, 1951; Ballantine, 1986) Although widely considered to be a classic of the science-fiction genre, my experience with John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids is that it is more of an apocalyptic horror novel. The science-fiction aspects of the book (walking plants, a blinding comet), while catalysts for much of the action, are, in truth, mostly unimportant to the story. The bulk of Wyndham's novel concerns the aftermath of the blinding of the vast majority of a population. "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king," and so on. Our hero, Bill, is lying in a hospital bed, recovering from eye surgery (his eyes are bandaged), when what appears to be the celestial event of the century occurs. People are running about looking out the windows at this fabulous comet. Bill grumbles to himself that he is missing it and considers pulling off the bandages early, but resigns himself to his better judgment. And better judgment it was, because the next morning, nearly everyone in the hospital is blind. Bill removes his bandages as there are no sighted doctors or nurses to do it for him and finds that he can see. Sometimes he wishes he couldn't, as when he watches a newly blind man deliberately lead himself and his fiancee off a fire escape to their deaths. The story involves the rebuilding a society after a devastating event. I call it "apocalyptic" because it resembles a nuclear war, in that everything the people of the story know is destroyed, and it is up to them to reform their world from the ground up. That is the scariest thing I could imagine, but it is also hopeful as it gives them the chance to do it right this time. Along the way, Bill falls in love and has a child. And the years pass while the triffids slowly close in on the humans sometimes destroying, but also often being destroyed.

    Extractions: "We Are The Dead" Although it was his commercially most successful novel (or because of it), John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids has often been treated a horror story devoid of ideas rather than an SF novel full of ideas. This has meant that some major themes in it have been ignored, despite the fact that they are shared with George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four . The main themes that is never discussed by critics of either book is, quite simply, permanent horror. Perhaps it is because people hate contemplating that possibility that they do not discuss it, but both Nineteen Eighty Four and Day of the Triffids are about an eternity of irrecoverable pain. The only way of escaping it is not to have it start. Furthermore, the two authors are not religious. Their eternity of pain is on this physical earth. The purpose of both novels is to account for the perpetual hurt and both titles are ironic references to their double treatment of time. The novels are about immediate suffering but they premise this going on forever. Winston Smith cannot know that the year is 1984; the day of the Triffids will last till the end of the Earth. If the world arrived at the state of Nineteen Eighty Four it would never change back: any part of it could be represented as a boot stamping on a face forever.

    Extractions: Another BBC 7 commission, this Sci-Fi horror story by John Wyndham is read in two parts by Nicholas Boulton. The instinct for survival is explored in all its complexities when a group of space travellers are trapped on board a shuttle to Mars. Written in the 1950s, this story is very much a piece of retro-future but the ending has lost none of its power to chill.

    Extractions: Science Fiction Studies Thirty years have passed since the death of John [Wyndham Parkes Lucas] Beynon Harris in March 1969. (I have bracketed the names he did not use in his private life.) During that time, in spite of the fact that his best works—those published under the name "John Wyndham"—have remained continuously in print and that he is generally acknowledged as one of the major figures of British and world sf, he has received very little critical treatment. And since Sam Moskowitz’s pioneering effort, he has received no biographical attention. It seems likely, however, that this neglect is about to end. In May 1998, the John Wyndham Archive, previously unavailable to researchers, joined the Science Fiction Foundation, Olaf Stapledon, and Eric Frank Russell collections at the University of Liverpool’s Sydney Jones Library. It was not until 1992, the year following the death of Harris’s widow, Grace, that this material was professionally sorted by Bertram Rota, Ltd., the London antiquarian booksellers. The papers were sorted because "the private collector" who had purchased them at an auction wished to resell them and appointed Bertram Rota to act as the agent. In 1997, the University of Liverpool—first university in the world to offer an M.A. in science fiction—undertook to match the asking price on the assumption (correct, as it turned out) that the Heritage Lottery Fund would supply most of that amount.

    Extractions: Language of Material : eng John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris was born on 10th July 1903 in Knowle, Warwickshire. His father was a barrister from South Wales and his mother was the daughter of an iron master. Wyndham experienced an unsettled childhood following the separation of his parents in 1911. His education was conducted at various schools, finishing with Bedales, a progressive co-educational boarding school, in Petersfield, Hampshire. Wyndham thrived at Bedales, and inspired by the science fiction of H.G.Wells began writing his own stories. After Bedales Wyndham chose not to attend university, believing it a mistake to do so without enough money to take a full part in the social activity - a decision he later regretted. Wyndham instead embarked upon a wide variety of occupations, including farming, law, commercial art and advertising. Wyndham had begun to write short stories seriously in 1925 and was one of the few English exports to be published in the American Pulp magazines. Yet, he was not comfortable with the label science fiction, preferring the term "logical fantasy" instead. Nonetheless, he was published frequently in American and British science fiction magazines and was described as early as 1937 as "the best of our modern science fiction authors". His early work, however, did not bring him any great recognition and the Second World War brought an enforced break to his burgeoning writing career. During the war years Wyndham served as an official censor and from 1943 in the Royal Corps of Signals taking part in the Normandy landings. After the war, he began to write once again and in 1951

Archeology of the Future has been raiding the mouldering piles of paperbacks in the cupboard under the stairs, digging through the accumulated strata to uncover some rich gems. Chocky by John Wyndham, published in 1968, is the story of a family afflicted, or blessed, with a 'special child'. Rather than dealing with a wider apocalypse or with the world plunged in violent change, Chocky is the exclusive story of one suburban English family. It's a novel of relationships; the relationship between husband and wife, between father and son and between a young boy and an intangible presence that takes up residency in his mind. There is a great change, but not necessarily the one that the reader might expect.
