This is the first time I've read any of Wyndham's short stories and my overall take on it is I can see why he is remembered more for his novels. There are some quite good stories in here. I particularly liked "Opposite Number", Wyndhams attempt to grapple with the complex subject of parallel universes, and "Dumb Martian" that is quite unusually written from the point of view of the antagonist. To his credit, the author attempts to explode some ridiculously dated views of women in many of these stories. Views so ridiculous that one would not even bother sending them up nowadays. Then again, in other stories that didn't focus on feminist themes, his own intrinsic prejudices about women linger not far below the surface. Some of the stories just come across as quite dated and obvious the the modern reader, valuable as little more than historical curiosities but none of them are terrible and probably worth a read, especially to Wyndham fans.
