Trouble with Lichen
A sharp, amusing story (The Guardian) about the fountain of youth and its implications for women's rights, by one of the twentieth century's most brilliant-and neglected-science fiction and horror writers, whom Stephen King called the best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced. It was a genius move for John Wyndham to center an age-slowing narrative on women, who are still today pressured to remain youthful-looking forever, or succumb to social invisibility. . . .

Über den Autor
John Wyndham (1903–1969) is considered a pioneer of science fiction and horror, though he preferred to think of himself as a “logical fantasist.” He began writing science fiction and detective stories in the 1920s, but shifted to science fiction post-WWII, focusing on themes of disaster, invasion, and first contact. His best-known works include The Day of the Triffids (1951) and The Midwich Cuckoos (1957). A pacifist and socialist, Wyndham was alive to the impact of sexism, classism, and prejudice and his novels reflect his liberal politics.
