The Day of the Triffids-John Wyndham The triffids are a monstrous species of stinging plant; they walk, they talk, they dominate the world. The narrator of this novel wakes up in hospital to find that, by missing the end of the world, he has survived to witness a new world. But the new world that awaits him is fantastic and horrific. Wyndham partook in World War 2 – although how much of the fighting he has seen is unclear, serving as a cipher operator in the Normandy landings, “landing a few days after D-Day.” Whatever Wyndham’s soldier status, there is an amount of carnage corpses in The Day of the Triffids – although generally subdued, and mainly visible out. His best known works include The Day of the Triffids () and The Midwich Cuckoos (). A pacifist and socialist, Wyndham—unlike a lot of mid-century genre fiction authors—was alive to the impact of sexism, classism, and prejudice and his novels reflect his liberal politics.
