This looks like mis-categorisation. It is a work of science fiction, not horror. PatGallacher 10:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What does...

[edit] Feminist POV
The analysis strikes me as strangely skewed on a feminist viewpoint. Would the writer of the article criticise Defoe for the lack of strong female characters in Robinson Crusoe? There are no citations made for the lumpen " many would criticise...". In actual fact, Wyndham encapsulates and successfully satirises the mores of late 50s British sexual politics, such as they were, quite successfully in the book. Does the same author of this article criticise Wyndham's 'Trouble with Lichen' because the main character, Diana, is the only strong character throughout, is female, and there are no truly sympathetic male characters in the novel? Thought not. Jatrius 13:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
