Location: UK		I can kind of see Aldiss's point about the cosy catastrophe, but it doesn't stop me enjoying them any more than the "cosy mystery" tag stops me enjoying Agatha Christie.

I get the feeling that Wyndham was much more significant in the UK than he was in the US, which is maybe why he missed out on the awards. I don't have any actual evidence to back that up.
