I just noticed this quote tucked in the back of this book. I like how the author connected with Wyndham‘s books. 👍🏼

This is an excellent biography of a great, underappreciated, author who was extremely private.

It's a shame Wyndham's work isn't more well known. It really is unique within the science fiction genre and it think it holds up better than the work of his 1950s - 1960s contemporaries due to John's portrayal of women and overall progressive mindset. I absolutely loved this book and I feel like I finally know who John Wyndham was.

Come-read-with-me Thanks for the recommendation-sounds good! 3y

rwmg I've always enjoyed John Wyndham's novels. Wishlisted 3y

BestDogDad @rwmg The author writes about a number of his novels and short stories and where he got the inspiration from, and who some of the characters are probably based on. I really enjoyed that. 3y

BestDogDad @Come-read-with-me I had no idea what his life was like, and he ordered all his letters and journals destroyed upon his death so a lot of research went in to this. 3y

Come-read-with-me @BestDogDad That is amazing! Definitely on my TBR! 3y
